Soothsayers

They love signs in the sky

Eager millions

Crowd highways,

Looking to the sky

In desperate hope for

Purpose, meaning or a

Sign, but will remain

Empty.

**********************************************************************

Don't get me wrong, I probably enjoyed the eclipse more than anyone because it was on my birthday, and in the town I was born in, totality started at the time I was born. However, false prophets were screaming from the rooftops (i.e. internet) that the celestial phenomenon was more than just a beautiful act of God, namely, a sign of His judgement. The hogwash they spewed was riddled with logical fallacies and atrocious scriptural backflips. As we saw, it was nothing more than a wonderful display. I hope you got the chance to see it too.
