| Scarecrow, part 1: the Rain-bow Sooooo i jumped over the rain-bow, found the yellow brick road, and i got on it. But this road is narrower than Dorothy's. Unlike hers this leads to the real Wizard of Oz- not that short, power-hungry, lying weasel who tried controlling the system, but the real forever merciful One of the Promise Land. And i got on this road by myself, alone, and this road got longer and longer, and so one day i just had to stop, look up at the clouds and ask, "Why is this road so long? so long? Am I lost?" And i heard this faint voice, "Hey, you." And i turned to my side. "Up here." And there was this guy who looked like the scarecrow pointing north. "If you're looking for the Promise Land, it's that way." "Are you sure, I mean, this road gets longer and long-" "If you're looking for the Promise Land, it's that way. But you have to go through all kinds of landscapes before you reach the mountain top. And on that road show so many people so many children the words of faith, hope, and love." But i just had to ask him: "But how do you know so much? I mean, you're only a scarecrow. You don't even have a brain." And he told me to look around: i saw all kinds of scarecrows of all shapes and sizes; most profound, of all colors. And he told me to step close to him: i did. And he told me to take a closer look at his face: i did. A tear of blood grew out of his left eye, and i noticed he wore the same clothes I wore. Then he told me: "This is not a scarecrow� After they attacked, this is you." |
