The lilies of the field comment on Matthew 6:28
“Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow;
They toil not, neither do they spin.”
“Hey!” cry the lilies of the field,
“Hold on a minute. What’s with this
‘Toil Not’ crap? Here we are,
Juggling Nuclear Fire from the Heavens
and wresting our sustenance from the very
Air and Soil, so that you Animals
can sustain your parasitic lives by drinking
our nectar and eating our bodies,
and you have the gall to claim
we ‘toil not’? Where do you get off, anyway?”
- something that occurred to me over the last few days while looking at the flowers gamely struggling up from underground and blooming, after a long, hard winter.
They toil not, neither do they spin.”
