Analysis of What On Earth Was I Thinking (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



What On Earth Was I Thinking   (Bussokusekika)

Lately I’ve been lost
I know I’ve misplaced my mind
What of yesterday
I took Holy Comunión
I know there is no excuse
What on Earth was I thinking

About this poem

I guess I just wasn’t thinking…I had a lot of garbage on my my mind after reading chapters 10&11 of Jeremiah…Maybe I was still trying to digest the meat subconsciously and I was oblivious to the actual ritual of comunión…Anywho…Just for the record I do not believe in a Holy Comunión between someone who was not me and said implied act of pledging one’s self to such…I could give many examples of those who have been true messengers if My Father but I won’t…ok…Here are just a few…Joseph Smith,Charles Taze Russell,George Fox…Shall I continue Mary3…Freemasons my Arizona…lol. .
