What do you think, Jim?

In the Great Scheme of Things

In the great scheme of things, it doesn’t really matter.
The death of your child, wife, lover, sister or brother.
What does matter, that is what I ask?
“Nothing” comes the reply! All that matters, is that you die!

Replenishment of heaven, is the great task!
It beggars belief, why, you have to ask?
Continuous evolvement, on a grand scale,
Is all that matters, if we hope to not fail!

Wars, pestilence, a plague or two,
nothing satisfies our requirement of you.
Cannon fodder, how silly, you are born to die,
So don’t keep us waiting, on you we rely!

“Humanity” the great scheme of things!

My comments were great should be grand.
Should beggars be begs of? Was not sure
about envolvement or evolvement. So what
do you think. Jim Horn
