Allegory...the Monster

All the sheep looked just the same
Their fleece had the very same tint
The same touch, the same scent
Each one was precise his brother
Then in the spring a wonder happened
A strange lamb was born in the flock
He smelled like his brothers he felt like them
But his fleece was a black as coal
At first they all accepted him
He was, they knew it, their brother
He was also something so strange and new
In everything a complete wonder
He was given the softest grass
In the storm the most safe place
Then alas misfortune came
and changed this perfect picture
The soft green grass changed to a hard brown
There was no water to be found
No rivers or streams no secret wells
It was a curse from god
Where lay this curse they asked themselves
The answer lay for the hand
The strange new sheep he was a cursed one
They drove hem clean away
In the next few years there were many more
They all found a similar fate
But evolution will not be stopped
And the change was here to stay
A mutated gene had become
the normal one in the scheme of things.
