We planned on hearing a great parable;
Happened worldwide and hemispherical;

Does Appear To Be Parable
Does Appear To Be Parable

To me it does appear to be a parable,
That has been terrifying and terrible,
Accumiliated;
Humiliated;
With so much pain being unbearable.

Riddle me this:

His saga must continue
A parable without rhyme 
An epic fabrication 
A legend before his time.
A fable known to few and little 
If you can’t answer this riddle....

This tale of a child's dream,
Things are not all they seem-
An allegory in simple code
A parable dressed in modern mode
Of lion,witch and wardrobe.

Terrible and Unbearable Parable
Terrible and Unbearable Parable

In parish some people heard a parable,
Which was horrible and really terrible;
Did leave dismay,
Almost every day;
Weight of sins can become unbearable.

Clothed with naked sand
