Seer

Nostradamus could see into the future

of the world, it is said,

For his pains he feared

oppression from the religious fanatics

of the day, who

loved to call him a heretic,

Likening him to a witch

in his writings, a seer who

knew of demons and darkness;

events foretold,

And recorded

numerically

Over time,

living testimony

destined for a future

Forever questioning

of his work and motives;

overt, covert, no matter, he

listened to the voice inside.

    The passion his own, not guided by others. I like that about Nostradamus regardless of others interpretations of his end product. I love that about poets.

    I don’t want to see the future, the present is scary enough for me!!

    I’ve readed the Nostradamus book and day by day i see that in the world are things that happened and i think that he has right.

    Have a nice day and enjoy every second too! :)

      It makes you think doesn’t it, Alina? Maybe all those people labelled crackpots are really the ones we should be listening to, except for David Icke, he’s just a con-man.

      Wishing you a nice weekend too. :-)
