The poor tell us who we are,
The prophets tell us who we could be,
So we hide the poor,
And kill the prophets.

The prophets tell us who we could be,
So we hide the poor,
And kill the prophets.

Phil was like the big brother [not had] who you ached to be with. Just hang with him, listening for this or that pearl of wisdom. He’d smile then suddenly you or I were under his intense gaze & questioning! Time to think fast and speak up, nowhere to hide. Time to get to work on the discipline or strategy we’d been taking about.
