Art as prophecy

This short excerpt from a poem by Steve Turner written some years ago has an uncannily prophetic edge to it when you think of recent newspaper headlines.
"If chance be the father of all flesh, disaster is his rainbow in the sky.
And when you hear “state of emergency, sniper kills ten”, “troops on rampage”, “youths are looting”, “bomb blasts school”, it is but the sound of man worshipping his maker."
