Moral dilemmas
Elephant
Put me in front of an Elephant.
Ask me to kill the Elephant.
I am blind to the good and evil of the world.
Do I kill the Elephant?
Let God do the hard work?
God?
It wants to be killed.
Why not let the suffering soul escape,
Escape to the renowned silence of…
Nothing?
Will god be mad
Or was it his choice?
God?
The world will keep spinning
The world kept spinning
What is regret and how long will it last?
Can the Elephant feel regret?
Could the Elephant have done something different?
To not be tried by the feeblest of minds?
Now,
Now I want the Elephant to die.
They want it to live.
They don't know I am asked to kill it.
Will they know?
Will they notice?
Will they care?
How much?
I will say the Elephant migrated.
But.
I want to say I killed it
What is regret?
What is good?
What is evil?
What is bad?
Do i kill the Elephant
Do you care if I kill the Elephant?
The elephant has no meaning.
To you.
Feeble minded.
Lost.
I know what I want.
But I know what they want.
I will never be free again..
