Mr Period

I’m not a killer but a healer, I stretch my hands to you, for you to change, Change! to alter the course of history or be a part of it. I’m a friend not a foe, Even though I can put a stop to your life, without a gun or knife. I’ve dined with many kings and queens, Many great fellows passed through my school, Yet I remained strong and my bone did not wane. Many books were written about my quest and conquest; I’m history itself. I’m a writer, singer and philosopher, “Do what you have to do now, for time waits for no one"-I say; this essay I made popular, death and life are my colleagues, when I call they answer without hesitation… waiting for you to do right.. before my bell rings and put a stop to what you do…period! But, I’m not God. CONTEST:punctuation personified sponsored by Debbie Guzzi
