Analysis of Once Dead Who Will Judge Your Soul (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



Once Dead  Who Will Judge Your Soul   (Bussokusekika)

The corpse lies in wait
Though his spirit is long gone
Was his purpose served
What of onward and upward
Could this be a practice run
Once dead who will judge your soul

About this poem

Don’t think to much about this one GW…It jest might drive you to drink…We know that you did not document a multi colored UFO near San Benito TX in the 70’s…Like the one mentioned in Hawaiian lore…Oh well…As IF everything we do in life is recorded and may be used by the presiding judge to judge us accordingly in death…There is no such thing as an Akashic Records…And we all truly are equal in death…
