Unheard Prophecy

Inspired by Jesus complaining in the Bible how the prophet isn't welcomed at his home. Also inspired by David being the psalmist and a Biblical poet.

I'm a poet, a modern psalmist

spreading God's word with a twist

In the footsteps of David

my gift of spreading knowledge in heaven was bid

my blessing of sharing wisdom

I dedicate to Jesus in heavenly kingdom

But nowhere is the prophet rejected

like at his home, longing to be respected

but the strangers listen to his word

in his town the prophecy is unheard

people believe in his dreams

but his family doesn't have faith it seems

passers-by receive the healing

while his relatives have judgmental feelings

the crowds increase in follow

but the heads of his allies in shame will bow

he's a poet speaking in parables

the ignorant won't taste the nourishing apples

they won't understand the meaning of his metaphors

they won't walk on water to the shore

for the thirsty the word is beverage

the message brings refreshment

the riddle is made rich

the knowledge is divine enlightenment

the resurrection of dead knocking at the door

will shed the light for more

the well read

won't catch between the lines the unsaid

the truth will be revealed to the lesser ones

to the uncorrupted minds under the sun

It won't be shared with the Pharisee and the priests

the codes won't unlock to the scientists

it won't open up to the critics

it won't be wiped away by the Devil with its tricks

it shall turn over stones and bricks

beware of the false prophets and mimics
