Chickens

Prompt - Philosopher

Thought - Chickens
We are all chickens. This is fact, and I shall now prove it. However, it should first be noted that this fact was realized because of Billy Joel, as he wrote This Is the Time. If there are any problems with the following, bring it up with him. 
We can all agree that time changes, right? Time is going to change.  This is what time is. Guess what else will change? Chickens. That is what chickens are. Chickens are going to change. Therefore, time is just a chicken. Humans also change. Humans are going to change. At least, I hope they change, the way things are going. But if humans are going to change, and chickens are going to change, that is what they are. That is the sum of their existence. They are one and the same. It is quite clear now that chickens are anything that changes. Everything changes, therefore chickens are everything. I am a chicken, you are a chicken, your family are chickens, and you eat chickens. An unfortunate consequence of this fact is that we are all cannibals. That is an unimportant realization in the face of this new truth, however, and none shall deny this fact, lest a chicken turns you into a chicken.

    I LOVE this:) It's so truthful, not to mention true. It made me laugh, and also do a lot of thinking. Absolutely incredible!

    Love, Stargirl
