Outsight

language

If I a prophet were and awesome wise,
if I could speak the spirit in my heart,
the messages I’d utter would surprise:
Prescriptions for enlightenment would start
with learning how to listen to our souls,
rejecting every insult to the mind,
abandoning the limits of all roles
and leaving biased attitudes behind.

I’d question everything, including me,
and urge my listeners to do the same.
I’d teach distrust of all authority
and in the quiet listen for God’s name.
For good and order I would give my word
if I a prophet were and could be heard.
