The Oracles 333: Selected Verse by Deborah Simpson. $4.99 from Smashwords.com
Oracles have been around for centuries dating back to c.1300 BC. Verses such as Grail of Then and Enterprise which bear stark resemblance to the type of oracle Delphi of Greece told Crosesus of Lydia, "If you cross the river, you will destroy a great empire." Poems like Demise of the Pharaoh and Mortal Destruction shadow forewarnings such as the Mesoamerica Books of Chilam Balam.
