This alternate 'Watch The sky' page keeps the Mississippi-to-South-Central frame but turns toward participation, the danger in change, knowing all at once, and the preacher who must recognize the storm before God is put into it.
The corrected participant line gives the page a stronger self-implication. Its theology remains practical: name the storm first, then decide what spiritual meaning can honestly attach to it.
An alternate 'Watch The sky' that keeps the migration frame -- 'money / roll over on itself,' 'The negro / From Missippi / To South Central' -- but turns it inward: 'I am not the best / However, I was a participant.' It then asks whether 'the danger in change' sounds 'like when / all is know at the same / time,' which would be 'the end.' The page closes on a practical theology: 'A good preacher his to know / first that it is actuakly a / storm, before God get's put / into it.' Source spellings ('Missippi,' 'know,' 'his,' 'actuakly') are preserved.
