Random Leaf #313 precisely cut

It is a good thing,

you say—

But,

what is a good thing?

Forgive me if

I don’t know

what it means.

We only know how

to live in peace;

pray after moments—

both to be grateful for,

and to persevere;

take care of

the plants,

the trees,

the animals and their children,

the land,

and everything else created.

What do you mean—slave?

Is that a new animal?

—

We are?

We are humans—

specifically chosen,

made in the Lord’s image—

Why—

why are you suddenly mad?

You already knew?

I’m sorry if I offended you.

Oh!—

If I eat this fruit,

you won’t be mad at me anymore?

But—

we were told this is poison.

—

It isn’t?

—

What is lying?

Not true?

What is not true?

Oh!

I’m sorry,

please don’t be mad at me.

Yes, yes,

I will eat—

but only if you promise

this is not poison,

alright?

—

Okay.

I believe you.
