The Thorn~

~a parable~

"what is this" asked the lamb

 

"the thorn" said the lion

 

"where is the human who will pull it out?" asked the daisy

 

"they got that story wrong" said the lion, "it was the human who set the trap in the first place"

Matthew

Prey asks predator when will the humans pull out his thorn, but humans are who turned natural selection and predation into violence for violence sake. We perverted that to gain things and places? When will we learn?
