me is now living, or else they have died,
there's not a lot born 90 years or more
ago, who still enjoy what we call “life”.
And when we speak of people who were born
two hundred years ago (or more) on Earth,
the number who are living is then torn
in pieces smaller than we are at birth.
It's nearly all the people before then,
humanity both good & bad & ’tween,
who've gone this way. What really matters when
we live, and die, is not so often seen.
And “John the Washer”, Jesus called the great-
est prophet ever born of women here,
then died by Herod's wife, who's now the “late
Herodias”, and “ex” of him, so dear
to all her aspirations for success;
she hoped to stay the wife of Jewish king,
so got ol’ John the Washer made an “ex”,
by cutting off his head, then she could sing!
Well, for a while, she might have smiled, no tears,
and felt like she had bettered him, she won.
But nowadays they've both been dead for years;
if there's a resurrection, then which one
would you be wanting to catch up with when
you got a chance to meet and greet and know
the people that you asked to see, d'ya ken
my meaning, from what you've seen here below?
Yep,
ReplyDeleteI could say that I do know what you mean,
but, that might be a little too much keen,
To say that I completely understand,
Although, I see a little what you've seen.
I'd rather catch up with that headless bloke,
And, since you've asked I'll tell you why that is.
Too, Thank you just for asking 'cos that meant,
I've had to think about it, not just dream.
The bloke was kept in prison, for a prize,
(perhaps), and treated with much interest,
by Herod, there were times he would request,
the company of John, the honoured guest.
Whereas his missus, had to strive and best,
all others,(by the sounds) to get,
into the palace, seems it was a quest,
To get somewhere, although it lead to death.
