Soon Be Done

I woke up this morning feeling quite relaxed Even though the night was rough my sleep was enough I picked up my jug to fetch some ice from the hotel restaurant So I stopped at the front desk, and greet the male staff who was leaning precariously on the counter . He was deeply engaged with his phone while the female receptionist sat attentively at her desk smiling and swirling her tired eyes around. She glanced at me with shy and smiling eyes and not saying a word, deep down she knew what everything was about I peeped over to see what he was doing on his phone And I saw a message in black and yellow that was spreading around. Normally I do not intrude in other people’s business, and I do not participate in gossip. I am usually the last person to know what is going on even when the hurricane touches down And the helicopter comes to take me out of the town I still cannot see the gemstone that is floating around Sometimes I have to dig into my intuition and take my cues from the environment so that I can know what is going on and make the right decisions The bold fonts on his phone caught my attention so I asked to read the content. It was in another language so I did not understand it fully But it had to do with Judas and my family The young man explained quite clearly what he was reading And this this is what was embedded within “Or Judas was more treacherous than my family that gets along so well with my Ex” I was intrigued but at the same time bothered by this statement Even though I knew it had nothing to do with me, I asked him to explain more clearly. “Who is Judas”? I asked? “Judas is an apostle”, he replied What makes the matter more complicated He said, “Your best friend is stabbing you in your back” “I am don’t have a best friend” I replied I was cognizant of what he was saying to me But I wanted him to tell me more so He demonstrate, the stabbing rhythm with his hand He was definitely trying to tell me something I was wearing a low cut blue and white striped tea shirt with the X design at the back X and then I figure out a little he was trying to say I hate listening to gossip and I want to do move away from it I do not know who the real Judas is, it could be America, France Germany or China, only time will tell when heaven meets with hell. But for now I don’t want these things to sap my energy. I want to focus on helping somebody with my ingenuity I have been going it alone for several years and right now I have nothing to fear, everyone is playing a different card to get what they want, I don’t want many things in my life but there are a few things I would like to accomplish on my bucket list, they may take a day to begin, a month to manage and ten to twenty years to accomplish, I cannot do it alone so I have to search out the land that has a strong backbone I have come to understand that sometimes I need a helping hand To take me across the river so that I can drink cleaner water Some water has been stagnant for too long and I need something more to strengthen my hands Sometimes I need my more people to hold my hand To cross over to the other side of the land My wife is my wife and my friend is my friend and I don’t like when someone try to bore between them A friend and an enemy do not make good sauce And that type is not realistic at all Me and them has nothing in common I have my life my own philosophy and my own religion It would be dumb of me make some sordid compromise Against my wishes and against what I know is right The heart of the fool is beyond the mule and cannot do what is right even in any given light All my life I have hoped for a honest friend If that friend is not honest on the stage You must be honest in bed My friend knows exactly what I need and protects me from all greed It took a long time for me to learn the, arithmetic I have measured it right and left with a yardstick But I just could not get it, the computer can create and do all types of folly trick no matter how you argue about it Sometimes the paper bank notes are more accurate that the computer polls I have never felt homesick so I have decided to prove it So I measure it with a yardstick So that I can feed my enemies with a long broom stick A little folly will make you jolly And a little curry will make you hurry And the coconut water will put more strength in your body Get ready everybody, it will soon be done. And we will have two long years of fun, Eating and drinking, sleeping and forgiving Singing and dancing loving and romancing It will soon be done get your plates, cups and bowl ready It’s going to be real fun when everything is done.
