As the Worm Turns

What matter 'elections'
  when man's end is the worm
When his hope is the maggot
  matters not how he squirms

So much angst, so much stress
  Yet at the end of the day
You're sealed in a box
  'Twas better to've prayed

Everything on earth becomes meaningless when you consider what we'll all become, dust. Tom

Indeed two candidates for Presidency and both doomed to dust. It is the judgement day for them. Where will they end? Not the White House definitely. ~~

Oh yes, for sure. I can only take a quick update...if you can call it that. Praying, praising is the answer. In heaven no need for this nonsense.

In Heaven, the first will be last and the last will be first. This world will get turned upside down. Humility, Love of God, Prayer and Praise. Blessings and Bounty, Gershon
