The lesson of the dream

After Daniel 2 

Troubled by his dream,

a king asks the help

pf the best and brightest,

who fail.

 

Facing certain death,

one man, only one,

asks for prayer, and

prays himself.

 

A king turns to counselors

and magicians, who read

the tea leaves and extend 

a wet finer into the wind.

A wise man turns to God.
