You sound like a prophet:

***
Oh oh people of the earth
Listen to the warning the seer he said
For those who hear and mark my words
Listen to the good plan

Oh oh oh oh and two by two my human zoo
Theyll be running for to come
Running for to come out of the rain

Oh flee for your lives who heed me not
Let all your treasures make you fear for your life
Deceive you not the fires of hell will take you
Should death await you

Ah people can you hear me?
And now I know and now I know
And now I know and now I know
That you can hear me
***

I wish I could say I hear you. But apparently I was not able to :-).

***
I understand I'm on the road
Where all that was is gone
So where to now St. Peter
Show me which road I'm on
Which road I'm on
***

Well, taking a deep diet on everything, at least making 101 attempt to :-)

=3D=3D=3D
PS That was a scholastic exercise (sort of), don't take it too literally :-)

> RULES FOR THIS DIET
>
> 1. If you eat something and no one sees you do it, it has no calories.
>
> 2. If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, the calories in the
> candy bar are canceled out by the diet soda.
>
> 3. When you eat with someone else, calories don=92t count if you don=92t
> eat more than they do.
>
> 4. Food used for medicinal purposes NEVER counts, such as hot
> chocolate, brandy, toast and Sara Lee cheesecake.
>
> 5. If you fatten everyone else around you, then you look thinner.
>
> 6. Movie related foods do not have additional calories because they
> are part of the entire entertainment package and not part of one=92s
> personal fuel, such as Milk Duds, buttered popcorn, Jr. Mints, Red
> Hots, and Tootsie Rolls.
>
> 7. Cookie pieces contain no calories. The process of breaking causes
> calory leakage.
>
> 8. Things licked off knives and spoons have no calories if you are in
> the process of preparing something. Examples are peanut butter on a
> knife making a sandwich and ice cream on a spoon making a sundae.
>
> 9. Foods that have the same color have the same number of calories.
> Examples are spinach and pistachio ice cream, mushrooms and white
> chocolate. NOTE: Chocolate is a universal color and may be substituted
> for any other food color.
