Destiny

Sold into slavery by his jealous brothers, Joseph (technicolor dreamcoat) rose to become vizier, the second most powerful man in Egypt.

Joseph And His Brothers by Ottavio Vannini

Abandoned by the jealous brotherhood of man.

Amidst snakes and lies.

From the pit to the palace.

He was born on the same day that he died.

Leaving behind the baggage of an old life.

Destitute, deliberate and undeniable.

Donning the new coat of divinity.

Powerful and faithful.

Multi-colored for eternity.

Winds of truth had finally finished their task

ushering in ...

... destiny ...

Author's Note

"Life is grand, and so are its environments of Past and Future. Would the face of nature be so serene and beautiful if man's destiny were not equally so?" - Thoreau

The accompanying image is as much appreciated as your fine words are. A tribute to Joseph of the Technicolour coat. Remembered from bible stories long ago at Sunday school.
"Powerful and faithful
Multicoloured for eternity"

That is how he will be remembered.

Thank you

joseph was the favorite which earned the ire of his brothers and later on became a powerful man in egypt but despite the pain and heartache of being outcast by his family, when famine struck, he still showed concern for his family which makes him a shining example to emulate, the selflessness
