Ich bin die Vorkenntnis

you can listen to it here

Philip K. Dick wrote a novel entitled "The World Jones Made" about a world leader who had limited precognitive abilities.

I could see the future
but only out a year or so
from my will to power
all too soon the end was near

how to I begin again?
with these feet of clay
each step crumbles and breaks
and the rain washes away

have I sown the wind
to reap this whirlwind?

now I'm underground
with my lovely bride
no world to win and ash in my mouth
I'm left wondering "why?"
