Foresight

To recognize potential 
Is to realize things are rarely equal
And to dream about what could be,
Serves to prevent wrong decisions,
Concerned by the bad you foresee
A noble intention, towards a ''we''

Those, sometimes called prophets,
Wrongly assumed to operate from magic,
Are to be doubted, but seen as assets
Stirring herds with the beliefs they inflict

One hell of burden, I must admit
That leaves little to pardon, so are you fit?
But for every wise decisions that will be made
A clearer picture, the rise of a nation will be laid
The symbolic leader to a new way of life
An umbilical cord, that mustn't breed strife

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
