Cart before the horse

Valiantstar

I shall not die!

So they say..

Beware, presumption on display..

Who hear, should be so bold?


All is naked

His eyes behold.

Yes, there will be chosen ones...

A very small remnant...

From Him will come...

But who is who??

And what is what??

I guess

I am hear

I'll stir the pot...

Pride is a loser..

He suffers no sin..

And He shall decide who is in.

To be presumptuous

Is natural of coarse..

Just don't put the cart before the horse.  xxx
