Prophet - An Original Poem
The Prophet was born
To end our pain
But as a child
Died in chains
The Prophet was born
Amongst apartheid
Born the wrong color
Never picked a side
The Prophet was born
To a caveman
Soviet troops
Afghanistan
The Prophet was born
Without clean water
Survived a year
Tutsi slaughter
The Prophet was born
Near a shrine
Starved to death
Palestine
The Prophet was born
A refugee
Acquired Typhus
From a flea
The Prophet was born
To a black
Australian troops
The Outback
The Prophet was born
Near a mosque
But then he was deemed
An acceptable loss
The Prophet was born
To a caveman
American troops
Afghanistan
The Prophet was born
With so much to say
But without a well
She couldn't stay
The Prophet was born
A repeating birth
Human Beings
Planet Earth
If we valued the poor
What would they say
I hope I live
To see that day
Love it but sadly, I'm out of power. From now on I'll check Feed before new :(
Thank You
I would rather hear from you than get an upvote
btw if you need some help adding pictures to your poems, I can show you how.
I was resisting photos and naively hoping that with poetry and literature words were enough, lol. Help!
Oh and btw my daughter, the real Cathi-xx, (she used her name before I could object) showed me a video all about ducks' mating habits ;)
@cathi-xx
That is funny
I used to raise ducks
About the pictures, many people skip over posts without them. Here is a site you can use:

They will offer two codes, use the bottom one called "Embeded"
