prophets

They remind us

 

  of what seems most naturally obvious,

 

  in retrospect…

 

 in order, that we become better humans,

 

  mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers…

 

 we must give one another comfort and relief,

 

  that wars do not promote peace

 

  that our fates are interdependent with one another

 

  that our quality of life improves

 

 when we treat each other as sisters and brothers…

 

 they lead from among us

 

 never distinguishing them as being above the crowds…

 

 Why does it seem so difficult for us

 

  to come to see the true prophet in you and me…

 

 to become enabled

 

  by speaking against

 

 what you see most everyday

 

  as abuse of power, greed and hypocrisy…?

 

 

As our

 

 disposable society

 

  continues

 

  to waste our resources

 

  with increasing notoriety…

 

 we are losing more than time…

 

 

 

 Despite continuous warnings

 

 that our living environment

 

  is failing

 

 we disregard the cost…

Why

 

  does it seem to be,

 

 like our sense of family,

 

 prophets

 

 are only truly appreciated

 

 
…after they are lost?
