I have no idea what's written down in
Matthew,
do you know the bible well?

I do believe that somewhere there in
parables or else elsewhere
a note was written in between the lines,
stating
times like this will come and go, it bodes you well
to know the foe that hides behind the mask of
many eyes.

In a book of many faiths it only seems it's right that we keep face and
take face value as the currency,
but
I'd rather sleep with rattlesnakes than rub shoulders with some that face the wrong way on the right way to behave.

Then they tell me if I do repent that I'll be saved, but I once lent some kindness and it never was repaid,

Afraid?
not me,
so wearily I trudge along but do not see
the terror that waits wildly in the wings.
