Hidden

"Jesus told the crowds all things in parables; without a parable he told them nothing. This was to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet: "I will open my mouth to speak in parables; I will proclaim what has been hidden from the foundation of the world."
- Matthew 13:34-35

people are not an inherently thoughtful creatures
The majority of us are no different than ants
no, we are worse than ants
ants know their role and purpose.
they collaborate and triumph
somehow, humanity can't even manage this
we are too busy striking fear into one each others' hearts
in hopes that our domination will provide security
we have no time for parables
we shall hear without ever listening
just bells and whistles
we shall see without ever understanding
just colors and shapes
Lord
you've wasted your time with your stories
you've doomed us with your hidden truths
they shall be ignored for the eternal circus of amusement
they shall be deconstructed with no moments for pondering
we shall be trapped by our mass momentum,
isolated in our insecure souls
and buried by the rubble we have heaped upon one another
