A modern day prophet?

by B. R. GOWANI

at the precipice …

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 ….
