not very coherent sorry


A tortoise poked its head out of its shell

and looked at the world with its mouth agape.

The world was angered by its actions and unleashed hell,

throwing stones and screaming hate.


So the tortoise receded into its shell once again

with tear-filled eyes and intense fear.

The world soon forgot the tortoise, but the stain

it left on the tortoise remained


Years passed, but the tortoise remained inside its safe haven,

unable to see the world in the wonder it once saw.

It saw the evil and hate of the world and was permanently shaken.


Forever haunted by the actions of a few,

it reflected those actions

onto the rest of the world.
