What Will Happen

What will happen
when they burn
the books, and Paper
Mills no more?

Cameras in every 
bedroom, ceiling, walls
and floor – willing performers
will we all be, as duped primates
at the Grinder's beck and call?

What would happen
if God realizes regret...
will he end it all quickly
and quite quietly,
or simply pace and fret?

(What are man's odds,
dare you stand pat
and just bet?)

For sure; somehow we need to have our votes count -- can't let this steal go on. In a couple of weeks Arizona will release the results of their Audit -- I think it will rock the nation. With other states to soon follow suit. Thank you for taking time to read and comment. It means a lot to me. Blessings.

Right -- all is kindle and like now. Do they burn, melt sizzle and pop...or just flash, smoke and plop? I agree -- who cares. Thank you my friend.

Oh no!--not with my nose. Prefer a cruise, with lots of salty breeze -- better than blooms, where all I would do is sneeze.
