If I Should Die Before I Wake E. Douglas Gregory

We are mad. We have been asked to except the unacceptable and even worse, to participate in unthinkable acts. We have been asked to see "the invisible" and "the never was" and worse we believe so fervently in them that we act upon them as if they are our own.

Instead of using critical thinking we are as susceptible to suggestions as innocent impressionable children. This present reasoning therefore has eclipsed our ethics and morals

Initially, we all came into this light from the darkness. We should, from life's experiences, be all the better for it before we return. As each day transitions into that large unknown expanse

called night, a prayer's plea asks and requests,

"If I should die before I wake..."

this to give the light of each day a reason.
