About an Allegory


The vainglories of man may be abhored
But as such and thus we are made
Then to be cured before moving on.
If the Bible is an allegorical tale,
Everything also means something else
About the sheep and the fox
About winning and losing
About giving and taking
About coming and going
About what is near and what is far
And the birth of a shining star.
