Semse the Tense

I was told close it seems..
and I've seen how close is becoming..
I thought much "how will it be that been, being?"
and am scared and prayed not to see the evil, along

I  learned days come like a blink
and wondered how much have I done great..
I have seen a son of mother's and yet fatherless..
I got enough from a slave yet a master..
how good was the herd away from me
where did the edge ends, men less women missed..

why was I been given leaves
had it been I got NO  farms 
the pain will have been in vain..
