Preparing For His Finals
He sits in his lonely room
rosary and prayer book in hand
knows his end is near.
Friends he had now long gone,
he held himself above them
superior intellect
he laughed at their beliefs
in a God and heaven
and especially Hell.
Now that his death is sure
he wonders could he have been wrong
perhaps he thinks he made a mistake
to judge them all so quickly,
he should pave the way to cover his bases.
So each night he reads the bible
says a rosary every hour
watches mass on TV
reads a prayer to be prepared
in case there is a God in heaven.
he spends his days and nights
preparing for his finals.

such a sad but true story of not knowing and thinking you've known all these years...suddenly it's upon you and you have to worry. was I wrong and then make up for lost time. Very well penned.
Beautiful baj-a, also very sad to wait until the end to take his finals when the rest of us know that every little quiz counts toward the final grades. I always enjoy your poems, especially this one for the way you approached the subject, soki
Beautifull though sad
