A Prophet : Defining the Term

A Prophet is not one who can predict future acts.
He’s given the grace to see and relate the facts.
To those who are blind, 
he appears most unkind,
And is susceptible to all kinds of attacks.

I tend to be Buddhist by perspective, but what you say must be true of all prophets. Love, DAve
