Lonely Road To Prophecy

I once knew a man who thought he was pathetic.
Left alone with his thought's, became quite prophetic.



Now this is a couple lines from one of my poems. 
It just seemed to speak to the theme of this contest.

Cute couplet. Being of the LDS denomination, 'prophecy' caught my attention. Thanks for commenting on my Blow More Bubdles. It is an oldies style song with the very common chord progression heard in songs like If I Had A Hammer, or Where Have All The Flowers Gone. My better songs are Something Left Behind, Sitting On A Cloud, and Tropical Getaway.

Indeed, the everyday world must be stilled, and then impressions pour forth from a still, silent source: the wisdom of your very self, lost amid the din of all this competing noise. Excellent.

I saw the other one with itty bitty title, so I am assuming THAT is the one in my contest and not this one. This one is nice anyway, Robert!!
