Sheep and Goats.

There are two kinds of people in this world, there are sheep and there are goats. In the beginning there was no distinction between the two. They came from the same animal. The sheep grazed in the meadows and lingered by the flowing streams and became easy prey for the lion who lied in wait for them in the tall grass and the wolves who herded them and cornered them in packs...as the goats climbed to the highest peaks and watched from above.... these predators took from the flock, culling the weakest and leaving the rest to live for another day while the shephard fleeces them all and castrated them and leads them all to the slaughter one by one, starting with the first-born spot-less lamb...the shepherd protects the sheep with his rod and his staff and leads them beside the still waters...slashing and burning the forests in the lowlands so the sheep can graze on the grasses that grow from the disturbed ground...as the goats climbed to the highest peaks and observed from above,  the man has the power of fire and the knowledge of good and evil and he uses his power to subdue and destroy. This is how the 2 legged's dominated the 4 legged's... they used sticks and stones to make weapons and fire and they dug in the earth for the metals and ores and ruled over the beasts and the feilds.... and the sheep surrendered their free will to the Shephard in return for the promise of safety, comfort and security, he led them beside the still waters to fertile pastures... as the goats climbed to the highest peaks and watched from afar...
I watched as he slit the throat of the first-born and drained the blood into a basin and carried it into his tabernacle and marched up the steps to the center of the tent where he kept the gold that his slaves had dug from the ground and the treasures that he captured from the nomadic tribes wandering in the desert who had long ago been exiled from the land by his fathers...He held the blood above his head and poured it on the horns of the alter that he had built for his god that required blood for the remission of sins. He slew the ancient trees whose spirits spoke to me to build his cities and walls, and temples to his god, my fathers children are held hostage in his camps... the virgins are parceled out among the generals and officers like the plunder and loot and livestock that they steal from our villages and camps...the feet of my children smash the grapes of the wine that they drink. They are a savage people who worship their gold and their riches and claim the authority of a god that requires blood for the remission of sins.
