A father and his pup walked one
day,
the young pup spoke and asked his
dad,
you look as if you have no
friends
is that what makes you look so
sad?
The father answers to his son,
looking into the young pups eyes,
answering with the same soft spoken words,
in the same riddled rhyme.
"The water we drink and food we eat
is granted to us for life,
but each must only take as much as they need,
for that is only right.
"But each is destined to grow old,
and to soon after have all health gone,
So then they might fall prey to nature
so that others may live on."
The pup again nodded once
turning to his father to ask him of his life,
How he had come to know all he
did
about his pain, suffering and strife.
"My son" he whispered to the pup
still gazing in his eyes,
"I know of what I speak my son,
through using my own mind.
I'll tell you of what I've seen my son
and of what the shamans preach,
Live your life well but harm no other,
for the purpose of life is to teach."
To this the pup just nodded,
making this knowledge his own,
he then sweetly nuzzled his father,
as the enlightenment in his eyes shown.
Then the father spoke unto his son
about the strangest of nature's clan,
Of the ones who've learned so very little,
he warned his son of man.
"Be fearful son of a race called man
for they know not what they do,
They have been given abilities,
far beyond our own, yet utilize
so few.
They act not for their brothers and sisters,
but for the betterment of one,
They've violated many of natures laws
but know not what they've done.
Man has abandoned the powerful mind he has,
which first allowed him to
thrive,
But he will reap what he has sewn
once he can no longer survive."
With that the father nuzzled his son
and bid him on his way,
knowing his son would lead a wealthy life.
and pass his knowledge on one
day.
