an attempt to communicate with rain/thunder/lightning gods –
Tlaloc, Oya, Zeus, Hadad, Jupiter, Perun, Indra, … –
or a Moses parting with his foot rather than the staff
or initiating a walk on water like Jesus with sneakers
nah! the prophet is above religious/mythological humbug
is a progressive millennial, wedded to empathy, reasoning
who considers male/female dichotomy as just a social construct
likes to interact with nature and respects it too
is very worried about nature’s wrath affecting wretched ones
lifting a foot to link with nature wishing it pure, not polluted
at the precipice, knowing …
without human intervention now to reverse/preserve
result is a dark future forever/inevitable ….
