The first part is a short allegory based on a controversial issue. It is based on my opinions and beliefs, beliefs that we may not share. Because it is such a controversial issue it invokes strong emotions, I am told that many people cried when they read this. Also note that I wrote this in high school, and have improved as a writer since then.

The second part really happened, when I was a child. This poem was my way to deal with it. Please consider these things before reading this allegory and poem, and thank you.
