Notes About The Poem

Rik Mayall dies aged 56 - British Comedy Guide

The Court Jester Becomes Serious

 
Rik Mayall, British actor, stand-up comedian, writer,
        pioneer of alternate comedy died suddenly,
                 June 09, 2014 of a heart attack,
                         or was he murdered ?
In his last film, One by One, he left comedy for the serious,
        delivering a chilling message before death,
                warning us of a scary revelation,
                         of a new order destruction.
The film speaks of population reduction- one by one, by one, 
        natural selection, getting rid of useless eaters,
                  too many resources being used,
                        the planet is asleep.
I believe Rik wanted to share this before he was murdered ?
        make this film as a warning to humankind,
               the world we know is changing, 
                      we see it even now as a reality.
The world's resources cannot sustain the population much longer.

Constance so much going on it would take weeks for me to tell you all. I am sure that the powers that be had their hand in his demise without question. So, so many have died for shring the truth of what is happening right now with the depopulation agenda going on. Read my narratives on this, it will explain a lot of what they are doing. He was a smart man who cared for others enough to risk his life and pay the price he did. John F Kennedy was also murdered for wanting to do the same thing.

Michael, thank you so much for the visit and reading my poem about Rik Mayall, it was a tragic end and I believe was no natural heart attack. He knew that his life would be in danger if he spoke the truth and did it anyways. I will read your narratives for sure, blessings ~
