Fire In the Prophets and Prophetesses

Painful truths must have been conveyed To the people who had no ears Prophets and prophetesses Took courage against the fear of men Your love would cause people’s hatred Your courage would bring you much pain You would taste loneliness You would endure accusations You were not physically strong You were sensitive like everyone else You shed tears from disappointment You cried with discouragement Please forget me God I’m not good enough to fulfill your will Please make me disappear I was born from an imperfect mother But the fire burning inside of you Grew bigger and hotter The heat from unexpressed truth Exceeded your limits of endurance Painful truths must have been conveyed To the people who had no ears Prophets and prophetesses Took courage against the fear of men They could accept isolation Caused by people’s intolerance They could endure pain Caused by people’s hatred They suffered, because they loved Fire in the prophets and prophetesses Burning also inside you People hate you, because you love them
