The Prophet

The Prophet By Kahil Gibran A very quiet revolution Takes its place inside you heart When your eyes are opened By the words of someone else Very quiet wisdom As it whispers in your soul Very gentle hammers Come to dismantle your accepted world The changes come so slowly But indefatigable in their tread They show you indoctrination And the easy habits of your use You are change within the landscapes Of so many ill considered opinions You are forced to take those assumptions And give them another look It’s in the power of their truth In the entreating voice of his love He takes away the blindfolds Makes you more than you once were It’s a very quiet rebellion So quiet, but with a monumental shout When your eyes are opened By the words of someone else written for Christopher Higgins competition "Get Your Rebel On"
