VATICIDE — [Noun] The act of murdering a prophet, or one who commits such a murder. From Latin vātēs ("prophet, seer") and -cide ("killing"). Unlike "deicide" (which slays a god) or "regicide" (which fells a king), vaticide is the silencing of a voice that speaks the unwelcome future. It is the knife in the temple of Delphi, the stones hurled at Cassandra, the bullet for the poet who saw too clearly—a crime not just against flesh, but against time itself, for who now will warn us?
