The sparrow speaks

 

The middle path weeps a thousand tears

As a thousand fears are laid to rest

was I a good man did I pass the test?....

while God and the devil wept about their failed marriage

the child of neutrality saw clarity and carried on living

forgiving everyone who had ever hurt him

knowing that one day they would turn to dust

and without trust they would squabble over the rights to their mortal children

but he could act as councillor for their petty squabbles and disputes

as the apocalypse threatened

to turn into divorce proceedings

and bring more discourse pain and death

in the never ending cycle of violence

“silence”

the sparrow child spoke

then he said “enough”

but would they listen to their son

the human child who wanted humankind to be as one

the middle path who loved both his parents the same and didn’t blame

the vultures and butterflies the siblings who picked sides.
