So, I was listening to Disturbed’s cover of Sound of Silence1, and I got to thinking about these lines:
“The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls”
And I thought, what if it’s not “the prophets” but “The Prophet,” the book by Kahlil Gibran2? Then it becomes a lot less deep of a line, ’cause let me tell you, when I was in school, the words of The Prophet really were written on any blank space of wall.
