gods
good books
just
been reading a Bukowski poem, i
find reading them keeps me a
little bit on the sane side.
problem
is i have almost read them
all but i have
a
bad memory so i could always re-read
the ones i have read already.
in
the poem i am thinking about he
is close to death or hopefully
closer then me
and
he says death will probably be a
test just like life is a test.
he
seems to be saying that it's
something you can never escape from even
through death or after it.
and
i tend to agree why would god
put us through this living hell
with
some good bits thrown in if you
are lucky.
just
to let us off the hook when
we die.
it
just does not make any sense or
logic.
so
it looks like the test will continue.
i
wonder how my score sheet is
looking ? not good I'm afraid
getting
drunk senseless down some club dancing
like a man possessed and probably being
ejected
i
say probably because i also lost
my memory self control
and
the little bit of sanity i still
possess.
although
i did write a poem before going
out
but
i doubt that will balance up
the books
even
if it had been a good one which
it was not.
so
i guess i am probably well
into minus figures at the moment on
the test sheet score.
although
i did help out at a charity
type Christmas dinner for homeless
people and there ilk.
but
that was only for one night so
i might have got a plus point
for that but only the one.
i
reckon I'm probably about minus 100 or
1000 at the moment
so
I've got a lot of catching up
to do. if only i could write
a really good
decent upstanding
, righteous poem maybe i would get
10 plus points
so
if i could write 100 of them maybe
i would be
in
the plus rather then the minus region.
but
I'm afraid it's just not in me.
i
just hope you can put things right
after
death but i bet you can't
and
then you'll be in minus figures for
ever.
although
i bet you can not drink after
death
which
should make my non life a lot
easier.
anyhow, all
I'm saying
is
maybe death is not the final
test maybe we have more to come
that
would really put a smirk on gods
face.
maybe
i'll get a plus point for this ? or
i could try for more.
be
kind to people be generous in spirit be
gentle be loving to all even the
nasty mean ones.
be
giving rather then taking. be nice
to all animals.
and
never pick your nose or wipe your
dirty nose
on
your sleeve. be good.
and
allways say plaese and thankyou.
hell
i can do it ! should get ten
plus points for this only another
100 or so to write
then
i might be in gods good books.
(will the lost souls with the
purple passes please give kindly).
