Inspired by Luke 4:14-44 and current/historical reality

 

       Medice, cura te ipsum.

 

 

Everybody wants the prophet to stay, 
Except his own household— 
They despise the company, 
Envy what the outsiders have gained, 

Appoint an aristocrat to make 
Their nabbed nation great again. 
So, he moves among the down-and-out 
And prays in haunts forsaken.
