the nature of man
is the scorpion
the great destroyer
frogs are known
for doing favours
trusting silly creatures
pity they can't read fables
more might still exist
alas they keep on
giving scorpions rides
a thick skin is recommended
when bitten a frog can survive
yet another day to give
yet another scorpion a ride
who most likely will be disguised
as a pretty winged dragonfly
wearing a halo
Mankind is far worse, for the scorpion has only its instinct unaware of the consequences; mankind has only evil intent regardless of their own own survival.
ReplyDeleteI guess 'we' put on different masks..sometimes the most beautiful (or the ones who think they're the bees knees) have the sharpest tongues and tails..good old Toadie..has his problems but is good..off to Toad Hall!
