*Had to make a major change update to 'guy'. My original in word had it.
*** the few other Ideas that didnt make it in this poem.
Triple-7 Cluster (symbolic events)
October 7 attack on Israel ? first 7
Johnson & Johnson vaccine clot risk: 7 deaths in 7 million ? second 7
Earthquake (~M7) in 7th month, near 7th day ? third 7
George Floyd death & nationwide unrest
Approx. 10 million undocumented immigrants — “10” may be symbolic rather than exact.
Ukraine war — just the tip is still rape, fight like lions,
China warning — general geopolitical caution.
Antifa & BLM warning — general caution about radical groups.
Return to Jesus / build personal relationship with Him — spiritual exhortation.
Anak Krakatau hiccup in 2020
U.S. debt ˜ $30-35T (2020–2024 recollection)
Ok, these are all the macro level stuff.
August 29 2025 updated- I feel like the moron like I'm moving the goal post, I recall a few things, hunter laptop real, I did not think of Biden. Only the thoughts to write down Hunters laptop is real. 2. lets go Brandon- Nascar zoom zoom - that was a funny event seeing that play out. 8 Thought of my friend Brandon. 3. The three Jeff's 1. Thank you Jeff from Utah- hello saints( help me come back to christ along with Joel osteen - treated him like a Tony Robinson figure,) hi to neutral Jeff, 100 bucks remember the people, and the evil Jeff who is from the island. He will die - though I think he will be murdered. OK done. I'm tired of looking like a fool.

Never a physical audio voice. only a strong inter dialogue of thought.
For this poem song, I had ai sum up everthing, the poem and notes for lyrics. The song is missing the proper names except the name jeff. trying to be considerate.

One Shoe On
One shoe is on, the other is gone.
Let’s put this majestic jester hat on—
once upon a time,
a black swan.
2018 into 2019,
my inner voice whispered:
There will be a toilet paper apocalypse.
Get your M95 mask.
A rhyme from the land of Wuhan,
a lab leak—
stay six feet apart.
The joke and the joker will laugh.
Thirty-two, maybe thirty-four felonies
for Trump, from the Big Apple.
Israel attacked by Hamas on the seventh of October.
A kidnapping—someone named Nora—
a cheap motorcycle,
and Al Jazeera knows.
I'm no doctor
Three Kings’ Day, desecrated by rioters.
“Ashley, go home.”
A vision of Corey, a firefighter,
falling during national turmoil.
And the voice says:
“The pen is mightier than the sword.
Turn your head and cough.
So, Fight, fight, fight—
That is my Trump card.”
A quake, seven points,
On or near the seventh day of the seventh month
Near ridgecrest California.
The fall of Afghanistan.
Thirteen U.S. dead.
A special forces 'guy'—
Gone.
Roe v. Wade overturned.
States' rights.
We, the people,
Will be held accountable.
Go home, Emily Willis.
Get out of ****.
If I needed help,
I’ll go to St. George,
Not California.
And a few other Ideas
But whatever I'm not Tiresias
Nor a revelator
Or like a prophetess
Just someone who's missing a shoe.
I am a sinner.
Call me the freak.
I don’t care.
I should have copyrighted it.
Said:
Jesus is the Christ,
Joseph Smith is a prophet.
I lost my faith.
Found it again.
So much déjà vu
I thought I’d gone insane.
Anon in the comments calls me a con.
I don’t care.
You might say i have a demon
I don't care.
Foregone in the present.
Twice before,
maybe.
Once, in 2001–2002.
And maybe—
If the high school memory is real—
1996.
A Cold War relic computer,
an Army officer from the West,
and my warning:
“Tolkien’s Two Towers.
Call 911.”
I don’t know if it was real.
Maybe crazy.
Most likely.
I don’t care.
