The difference between hearsay and prophecy is often one of sequence. Hearsay often turns out to have been prophecy.

Secularism and communalism
Is secularism opposite of
Communalism?
I do not know also
What do you mean by
Economic reforms.
I know only agitation.
Agitation for what
That I can not say.
And I can not say
So many things
Such as how and why
Gandhiji is termed as
Mahatma and bapuji.
Who am I
I can not say
I also can not say
Why giving is not giving me
Pleasure and you want to receive.
I am also not able to
Distinguish inner and outer
Space here in this body.
I can say from hearsay
So many things
But you say hearsay has got
No evidentiary values.
I do not know what is what
And when I utter anything
You termed me in some words
That I am unadble to understand.

Which prophecy of Christ we see wonderfully to be verified, insomuch that the whole course of the Church to this day may seem nothing else but a verifying of the said prophecy.
The folly of Interpreters has been, to foretell times and things by this Prophecy, as if God designed to make them Prophets. By this rashness they have not only exposed themselves, but brought the Prophecy also into contempt.

Darwins Children
Seven million years of progress handed down on silver wings
Of gossamer and protein still we havent learned a thing
Are we caught up in our anger, locked up in our rage
In the opera of selection on this our earthly stage
And charlies spinning laughing, laughing in his grave
Laughing at the prophecy, the prophecy he gave
Can we spread our wings like angels, can we break out of the grind
Are we destined to be darwins children this time
The ribbons of our cigarettes vanish in the ai
Rin the glow of our great teacher we sit and blankly stare
And the sky could open up and what would we have to say
Something cute about burning out, better than fading away
And charlies spinning laughing, laughing in his grave
Laughing at the prophecy, the prophecy he gave
Can we spread our wings like angels, can we break out of the grind
Are we destined to be darwins children this time
On the wings of invention now we hurdle toward our fate
As sure as the sunset burns
Collective resignation, evolutionary fate
When will we ever learn
And charlies spinning laughing, laughing in his grave
Laughing at the prophecy, the prophecy he gave
Can we spread our wings like angels, can we break out of the grind
Are we destined to be darwins children this time

Unfounded By Hearsay
I spent five months,
Recuperating in a hospital...
Once.
And feeling depths of isolation,
With drifting expectations.
I have learned much about others,
And their assumptions...
Unfounded by hearsay.
And those weakened by their own beliefs.
Blessed I am to have had experiences,
Many with closed mindsets...
Have yet in their limited realities,
Been exposed to have bestowed.
And I have more of an understanding,
Of those who have managed to live alone...
With a pulling up of their bootstraps,
And to ignore those trapped...
With nothing else to offer but passed judgements,
Within walls of their false comfort zones.
And believing them to remain like that forever.
I have learned much about others,
And their assumptions...
Unfounded by hearsay.
And those weakened by their own beliefs.
If someone lies long enough to themselves,
And feed their lies to others to believe...
Reality,
When it finally arrives...
Is worse than facing a created enemy.

To Receive With Meekness
The next prophecy,
The next life,
And like your sweet love in the land of your muse;
With greetings, peace and love!
To receive with meekness is the muse of your love,
But the Father of Light is above us!
And like the twelve tribes scattered abroad,
But the next prophecy is in the making.

He who believes in hearsay does himself a disservice.
Better one eye-witness than ten hearsay witnesses.
All truths begin as hearsay, as far as I'm concerned.

The Muse Of The Prophets
Peace and love on the land of your muse!
For Gaddafi went out without understanding the muse of the Prophets;
And now, he is gone too soon;
Because, the prophecy came and caught him up! !
What is going on in Libya is part of the prophecy,
And the prophets foretold them ahead of time;
And today, Gaddafi is gone too soon!
Forgetting about the coup he made some years ago.

A Certain Prophecy
I don't play butterflies and daisies
He-loves-me, he-loves-me-not
or any kind of romantic
I don't think it's love
Human hormones are kinda tricky
but I've already had in mind
a certain prophecy.
I believe we are all letter C's
running around but without no sound
for a circle to be completed
until but alone and only ourselves
could we find
our way to this ground
and we'll go happy and free
happy go round
and we're going to see
we're self nourishing like a tree
though we owe it all from the Almighty
The truth that lies behind
a certain prophecy.

Prophecy
Wings of fire, are sailing past the pint of no return
Blinding eyes, from which it hides the key
Seek to rise, begotten are the fools wholl never know
Force will hide the presence that we see
Theres no time to run away
A prophecy will make its stay
Course of rage, a never ending fight for the unknown
To justify the formulated scheme
So we find a gleaming light to lead us far beyond
The closing gates of our society
Theres no time to run away
A prophecy will make its stay

People who don't know me have opinions about me. That's the part that's very hurtful. Because how do you form an opinion about somebody if you've never met them or spent any time with them? So it's all based upon hearsay or things that they've read.
