The Three Prophets
At first dawn I see the Prophet call for new followers
Bellow the simple prophecy and a complex truth
That convinced builders and strong warriors,
That guarded the construction of a holy booth
Where more can sit, and soak in the words
And gaze at the mantle and the wonder
At second dawn, the Usurper comes, abstract
In the teachings that attracts iconoclasts
Hungry for new excuses of relic blasts
And orators, their false words backed
With glorious purpose that move the herds
To spread their faith with great ardor
At third dawn, appeared a sacred Diviner
Spouting what he found in texts olden
That attracted scholars, always beholden
To the sacred words of past reminders
Of the World Before – the prophet’s records
Grows, but will it one day be put asunder?
