Your poem does justice to both the prophet with his committed sincerity and the non-believers who are just irritated by his commitment. The description of the sky as yawning in the first image placed him in a convincing setting, just as the sleeping non-believers were in a characteristic setting - bed! I appreciate your not taking sides in this poem, because frankly I think they're both right, the two sides can each justify their attitude. the prophet has to nag and cajole non-believers, it's the meaning of his life. Meanwhile, the people he's trying to arouse are happy with LA DOLCE VITA which is just fine in a secularized world.
