Oracle

People look for oracles

Not ‘cause they believe 

But it gives them respite

From the inane mundanity 

To hold onto something 

That might or might not happen

Helps them cope with the present

Some oracles might bring dread

That put people’s current 

Troubles in perspective 

All people want is to

Put behind the troubled past

Get through the dreaded present

Look forward to the indifferent future
