Just what we need, more prophets and wise men. I think I'll
write to this jack ass and ask him to tell us who is going
to president of the USA.
Power unanointed may come -
Dominion (unsought by the free)
And the Iron Dome,
Stronger for stress and strain,
Fling her huge shadow athwart the main;
But the Founders' dream shall flee.
Age after age has been,
(From man's changeless heart their way they win);
And death be busy with all who strive -
Death, with silent negative.
Yea and Nay -
Each hath his say;
But God He keeps the middle way.
None was by
When He spread the sky;
Wisdom is vain and prophecy.
--Herman Melville
