Two rabbits one red and one blue were sitting on a grassy bank next to the railway track
They were discussing what would happen to the Railway Rabbit’s after the dreadful disease had faded
The Red Rabbit said although the Myxomatosis had been savage and had killed many rabbits
It had been a gift from God and had been long overdue
The Red Rabbit also concluded that after the pandemic had been conquered
That both the Red and Blue Rabbits could live together in total harmony without further conflict
It was God’s will and future generations of rabbits would appreciate this fact fully
The Blue Rabbit did not say anything and stared at the high white clouds
It then asked the Red Rabbit to position itself between the railway tracks and look towards the tunnel
What do you see
I see hope and I see the light at the end of the tunnel
Then close your eyes
The Red Rabbit complied and a few seconds later was cut to pieces by an oncoming train
I am truly sorry that I had to do this to you my friend but the light you thought that you saw at the end of the tunnel is always the light of am oncoming train
There is no God and because of that there is no hope
