Allegory Story: Creatures Devour The Flower

In your back yard, where cool winds saunter tall grass, and many creative but deadly life forms play, lies a seed. Ambiguous, it waits for it's chance to be nourished, nurtured by the dirt below and rain from above. Until fostered it is innocent, unknowing, and vulnerable. It knows no evil or good. It's activity is suspended - it's purpose paused till the rain greets the earth.

Then one day the skies open and the creatures of the grass scurry to hide. As the rain pounds away, the seed is hammered unto the earth, disappearing from sight. It endures a mighty storm, and although mouth-less, it feeds upon the available nutrients. It knows not how or why, nor does it ask. It just is.

Transformed, it roots, and from that condition it stems and develops upward with great satisfaction. Later it matures.

Within time it flowers to the delight of many creatures - It is in sure agreement with the bees, but in great conflict with the herbivore beasts. It is destined for beauty, adding great color to the world, but, as is so often the case, the creatures devour the flower.

" We always hurt the one we love, the one we shouldn't hurt at all, we always take the truest rose and crush it till the petals fall."
