Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the fairest of all?
Is it the goat, lion, sheep
Or the vulture?
You can boldly mention me;
The peacock, if I fit the position
MIRROR:
Only VULTURE comes close to the fairest of all
PEACOCK:
What?
The corpse eater?
MIRROR:
Yes
PEACOCK:
Why?
MIRROR:
Because he takes only what never hurts
He eats only to its fill
His meals gladly feed him
And he flies high to announce
And pay homage with his family
To his foods when it is bountiful
So he is the fairest of all
You peacock are too proud to be
That goat there, is too stubborn to be
That lion is too ruthless to be
And that sheep’s treats plants too cruel to be
Now stop looking for the fairest and just try to live right

The choices that we make is what speaks for the rest of our life I just got finished writing about this. Funny how things work. Call it choice or be it test. It’s still a choice that can not be refused.
