PROPHECIES

Prophecies that have been made before,
Floods, Famine, Pestilence and War.
Read Nostradamus or Edgar Cayce,
Or any of the prophets from any other race.

The surprise we feel when the consequences come true,
It seems that prophesying is but for a chosen few.
To foretell the future should be forbidden,
Many things were better if they remained hidden.

We cannot yet change the things to be,
Science is fast that is plain to see.
Floods we could conquer when the weather we control,
Famine can be ended with man’s playing a roll.

Pestilence is just a matter of plenty of cash;
Scientists could stop it if funding is rash.
Diplomacy and man’s good will could stop war,
Finally an end to this murderous gore.

We could if we tried in the next hundred years,
Stop Flooding, Famine, Pestilence, War and Fears,
That would be music to our waiting ears.
