Prophets Amongst Us
” If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.”
A prophet I must be
for in my dream I did see
places unknown and far away,
foregone events unfolding lucidly.
A prophet I must be
for in my dream I envisioned
my brother dying in vain,
my uncle accidentally maimed.
A prophet I must be
for in my dream I glimpsed
people I had yet to greet,
challenges I had yet to meet.
If a worthy prophet I could be,
then why do so many questions remain?
Why can’t I view the recipe
to wipe out hunger and pain?
