Too Pretty For Progress

If God were to be listening

to the prayers and the struggles of

the miracle-hungry martyr,

would it be through hedgehog or dove?

As you see, only obstructive

(or destructive) forces break through

skin, such prettiness as a dove

won't cause reaction to ensue.

The dove is much too pretty for progress.

Yet the hedgehog, you won't want to

touch - needles pierce through skin, you bleed;

but without blood loss you cannot

transfuse, make a new, better scene.

Your prayer's answer is destruction

to bring re-colonization.

This is why our martyrs bring us

our essential realizations.

There is no progress without the hedgehog.
