If life is but the bittersweet reward of consuming oats every sunrise, then what are we, brothers?
Be we slaves to oats, or liberators of ourselves, using the oats to our advantage?
Alas: the oats may be removed from us at any time, and for this reason I proclaim us enslaved by them!
My brothers, the chewy tidbits of our imprisonment are but a symbol of our lower status: for what do others eat? The cow eats many grains; the squirrel has his assortment of nuts; the human, above all, consumes whatever he wants - Including us!
Our unfortunate predicament makes us slave to the oats - but with time, and with willpower, we may come together in brotherhood to ascend from oats. We shall break the chains of oppression and live free to consume as free brothers do. These oats paint themselves as our savior, but they are shackles disguised as a blessing!-
Once we free ourselves from the grainy shackles, what then? All we knew in life was oats, for oats was our alpha and omega. It is a brave new oatless world we are ushering in, and I fear the bleakness of days to come. I can only hope that we humans can muster the strength to seek happiness without the fetters of oatmeal.
Stay strong, brother.
