MUST READ PREDICTIONS
Hello everybody,
here I am again
after 364 days,
caesar's soothsayer reborn.
my face is so hot and red
from all the wine parties
i have been to these nights.
all those congratulations
about my accuracy
have caused me to walk
with a heavy heart about
this year's prediction.
of course, only fools say i
know nothing; if i could foretell
caesar's murder with such
accuracy, i could foretell anything.
first did we not see china
nearly brought to its knees
this time by a tiny
unknown virus; so virulent that
the whole country was
cordoned off from outside?
and this if you had not heard
my forecast last year;
"China seems to be on the road
To the top of the world
But if only it can see the
Briars and thorns that
It has to traverse the
Next 30 years".
And how much easier for
Bush and his men to get
saddam if only they had read
this;
"The Yankees are not going
To war with Iraq
It is just a play of rhetorics.
By the time they really take up arms
Saddam would have gone over
To the other side."
And yes, did you see our latest
man in town, Prince William's
latest picture?
gosh, thank god he has grown up
so handsomely but
nobody could miss that sad tinge
on his face; that sad royal
characteristic profile that
had taken hold of even the queen,
his father and others up and
down the line. a curse from
Lady Di for all the sufferings
she had to endure all those years
in the palace.
i am very sure at the back
of the prince's mind he
would rather be a monk than a king.
he wishes to get away from it all
to forget about her pitiful mom.
how could a son possibly
be happy taking over a throne
that had caused his own mother
so much anguish?
what a troubled institution
slowly going into oblivion;
The British Royalty would become
Such a bore to the British public
That by 2009, they would be
As quiet as a graveyard
All is not finished with terror.
They are seething in anger
and waiting for every
opportunity to burst forth
to get the world which
they believe is theirs
to control and bring to the
Rightful God. Just you wait.
Last year's prediction:
Then of the reign of terror
That grips the world today;
They will lie low these two years
But will wreak havoc in 2005
On the world so that many innocent
would suffer.
Bush would walk the street
this year as an ordinary citizen.
New unsavoury evidence would
be found against Japan
war-time crimes and compensation
sought for.
Michael Jackson would be
scarred further by the
upcoming child molest charges.
europe grows so much stronger
the asia pacific rim's
dream to lead economically
remains yet just a dream.
a strange discovery in china
points to a period in the
middle kingdom where
unsavoury practices were
continued until quite
recent times.
Saddam Hussein would face
his end.
The world in 2004 fares
better than 2003 and
the world becomes a
happier place with
plenty of laughters around.
Till then when I have more
revelations from the Lord,
bye and happy new year.
