History Knows...The Path You Chose

History Knows…The Path You Chose


The sovereign old Ewe had a notion,
While leading her flock from the ocean,
”Now it seems I’ve become,
Worshipped just like the Sun,
What path shall I lead their devotion?”

A very realiatic thought, Jimbo. I rushed off last time and forgot to give you a rating. That wasn't a very good example to display. Sorry God Bless, Cile
