[Riddler]

Cleanse the world and make it safe, the children of the great city cry,
the bloodied mouth of thee looks to the sky,
O'lord, how long must we endure this,
purification by the great fire is the same cry.

[Xerxes]

That doesnt sound like actual Nostradamus to me. Are you trying to make up stuff to see if we can be fooled?

[Riddler]

Perils approach and the fear of demetri is finally seen,
he has failed to announce again to, and
so few souls left to speak through,
the coming burdened pain is true

[Riddler]

Anger of the ancients shall stand against man,
the ill seeking faithful finding akind,
a cows loins are the beginning of his death (fate),
the truth of the plague is known too late

[Riddler]

Let he who is wise, be also clean, and
know that how this plague claims thee,
less others touched is greater life gained,
fear to the many shall fall, who are unclean.

[Paca Huesca]

Be careful about hoaxes and "bogus" quatrains that have been widely circulated recently. I was sent one of those, which reads :
"In he year of the new century and nine months
From the sky will come a great King of Terror
The sky will burn at forty-five de grees.
Fire approaches the great new city"
I'll spare you the secon so-called "quatrain", signed NOSTRADAMUS 1654 (Nostradamus actually died in 1566).
If you want to know more about Nostradamus, here are two interesting sites : www.dreamscape.com/morgana
and "nostradamania" (there you will find the complete opus, both in olf French and in Englsh. Have fun with the reading....)

[Riddler]

Who said anything about Nostradamus? Those are my prophecies. I just like writing them in quatrains.

It ain't necessarily so.
The things that you're liable
To read in the bible
It ain't necessarily so.

Methusa lived Nine Hundred years.
Methusa lived Nine Hundred years.
Now I don't call that livin'
'cause no girl would give in
To no man.........lived Nine Hundred years.

Someday we will live 900 years. The technology is here. But after 150 years or so, it might get boring. What do you think?

[Paca Huesca]

So, Riddle, you like writing quatrains (riddles).
But you said those were your "prophecies". So, WHAT ?
