Analysis of Only God Knows That Answer (Bussokusekika)
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
Only God Knows That Answer (Bussokusekika)
Some people are weak
They can’t see light through darkness
My stepson is dead
Did my actions contribute
To him breathless in a morgue
Only God knows that answer

About this poem
I’m sorry to say that this is a true story…Such as is the one that inspired this song…https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=teprNzF6J1I&pp=ygUETWFuYQ%3D%3D Could this be the hidden mana…And if so what of the quail???My stepson passed just 2 days ago at Cottage Hospital in SB…He was known as Rafael Perez and I will never again hear him call me pops…He had struggles with his own personal demons that got the best of him…I don’t know how much my actions or those of narci contributed to his demise…But beautiful lies are much easier to accept then the cold hard truth…Forgive me if I shed a tear while posting this one…But there are those times when my father will make the strongest weak through humility…The boundaries are established and narci and her flying monkeys will not…I repeat will not get the better of me…IF she continues on her path and is not repentant…I can only say…May My Father have mercy on her soul…She will not get it from me…Food for thought my dear Alice…Once I establish boundaries…You will see a side of me very few have ever seen…And as for mankind…Decide that one on your own with the facts presented unto you in black and white…I believe I had mentioned this before…Reference Zephaniah 1:8 KJV…Merry merry merry Christmas Mary3…
