So I showed them things.

Not much that was spectacular, in fact,

more the usual, ordinary stuff

like wild flowers, birds and seeds,

So I showed them things.

Not much that was spectacular, in fact,

more the usual, ordinary stuff

like wild flowers, birds and seeds,

the daily chores, you know, sweeping,

baking, planting, fishing, getting along.

I simply pointed them to what was always

out there and then told them to "Go figure..."

I guess they did, or did their best at least,

because they kept on coming back for more,

more of them too, until the crowds

began to draw attention,

began to look, to some, like mobs,

began to worry those who worry about such scenes.

It didn't take them long - never does -

to detect some kind of threat,

something to be got rid of before it got too late.

The rest, of course, is history.

Or was.
