            PROOF REQUIRED
          By ... Steve Lucky

Somehow she could see a coming disaster.
She knew the city and she knew the year.
Information about it had to come faster,
Although past inaccuracies kept her in fear.
Her methods were not accepted by most
Because she had no proof her claims were true.
The gift of prophecy may be reason to boast,
But warning those in danger was what she had to do.
Warning people had to come before proof.
If it did not, all would be lost.
When most people treated it like a goof,
Proof had to be found at any cost.
Some of those who listened to her
Tried to spread the message far and wide.
For if the event did indeed occur,
They needed her to be their guide.
Proof required was the norm,
The obsticle that faced them at every turn.
Since they had no way to conform,
A tragic lesson all had to learn.
When the terrorists did take action
Sadly she was proven right.
With just a city and a year, her first reaction
Dealt with how to stop the disasterous flight.
