Words to the 'Prophet'

Words to the 'Prophet'

 Prophet, I remember

The last time I saw your face

 It left with me a lasting impression

 Red sullen and covered in perspiration   

Righteous indignation was your search light

To shine on the wayward and expose the fallen  

 I was sitting in the front row of repentant sinners

Thinking to myself; who the hell am I to judge you?

Even though your wickedness falls like rain  

It’s still not my place to send you to hell;  

To burn in that fire.

Prophet,

I refuse to put my own soul in peril

 The truth will find you out one day

 That I know for certain

But please do me the honor and

put away your new black shoes;

Start wearing the dirty sandals

Listening to your hollow soliloquy  

Is like finding an empty wallet

And I'm broke and hungry

A very passionate feel, such high respects, obtaining simple sadness upon actions, and broken responsibilities, with new shiny shoes comes changes often, hypocritical actions, love these lines sweetie,

" away your new black shoes;

Start wearing the dirty sandals

Listening to your hollow soliloquy

Is like finding an empty wallet

And I'm broke and hungry"
great relayed feelings upon read well done, love your soul sister from Australian xoxo

Wow Curtis,

I tend to second the sentiments of Tony when it applies to the strong I call you out attitude, with the top dog above but he's not who he,(God), is for no reason and realize, everybody has a breaking point and Curt felt his bending, to a point of no return but he,(Curt) steadfast his ground and got his concerns off of his chest...Everybody is entitled to their (15) minutes of fame and today was Curtis day for center stage and boy did he truly steal the spot on center stage and light today, he and this powerful land mine he has laid of a poem to we his readers.......Curt you amaze me and at the same time, intoxicate us all, with your fire stoker of a poem....  Remain you, always my friend; it truly works for you and for us as well, rock on partner, rock on……

Well done my brother,

 Jim
