we were handed
a sheet of paper
and told to protect it
but do with it what we
pleased.
some of us worked
feverishly
but the others had
plans
of their own.
they said, "Cast it to the
ground,
and let us trod upon
it."
"No", said the
others,
"Let us perfect
it,
let us shape it to our
desires
and change the things
we do not like".
And much did they
quarrel,
ripping of bits and
pieces
trying to create
what they thought was
best for themselves.
and oh, did they
quarrel
until the once perfect
sheet
had been maimed and
mangled
and ripped apart by its
caretakers.
who thought, once upon a
time,
that that perfect sheet of
paper
was simply not enough.
