The Old Stories...
i cant tell now if the old stories were wilder,
Less inhibited,
More macabre,
Or just less tainted by "correctness."
All the lessons buried,
All the warnings of powers larger than ourselves,
Was it just because the forest and jungle laws were closer,
Or is it because we hid in concrete and dead wood?
Tooth and fang are going extinct,
A mistake,
Because personal extinction may be more remote,
Yet we are animals too.
True,
Fairness is a virtue,
Yet so is resilience,
Even more so nature.
Watch the seasons dance,
Tell me what is truth,
What is myth,
What is a lie?
