Judgment's coming ... or ...

Ecclesiastes 7:1 

Life is Brief and Death is certain!

A good reputation is better than precious perfume;
likewise, the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth.

 

 

Judgment’s coming … or …

Dream on the night is fleeting … moving at the speed of thought.

It won’t be long before the trumpets … announce finality of an era gone.

Walls of our constant beating in the investments ... that we so often sought

as all the beds of ease so woven … will all then at last be forgone.

 

Power descending from up high … from far beyond our comprehension

as to slippery uncertain ropes … most everyone will try to hang on.

In the constant wonder “why?” … waist deep in past pretension

of their chosen absurdity … in hope judgment will move on.
