Mootopia

A note: Some of you may have missed the premise of this piece...The herd is a metaphor for doomsayers with their heads buried so deep in the sands of dogma that all they care about is the hereafter and don't realize or appreciate the greatest gift of all...life.


 

 

The traffic comes to a halt
along the distant highway
The herd advances
to gain a glimpse of life
beyond the barrier
Folks on vacation
Children
Boredom
Questions
“Are we there yet?”
Folks on cell-phones
closing deals
planning life
or chatting
Folks alone imagining
Memories
Love
Lust
Fantasy, Reality
Life and goals
laughter, joy

But no
It is not written
in the ancient Moo Moo texts
Hence, the herd retreats
‘The end is near’ they preach
and so it is
as they are led to slaughter

An '03 Bogle Pinot Noir
A Prime Aged USDA Ribeye
(the best cut the butcher could offer...
from the herd I think)
nicely charred in a raging inferno
and still blood-rare inside
with just a light caesar on the side
and some intelligent
fun, stimulating...
anything but
mootopic drivel


Mmmmmmmmmm...enjoy the meal

Yes, but if not for the "herd" a lot of people would be on welfare I imagine wherever this is that you are writing about.

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya
