Alpha and Omega

In the ancient world, among good people,
There lived two friends, Alpha and Omega.
Alpha was a leader, proud and brave,
Omega was a submissive and quiet being.

Alpha chased fame and power,
He was always first in everything.
Omega strove for a peaceful existence,
He was last everywhere, but he had warmth in the soul.

One day Alpha decided to have a competition
To determine who is more important and famous.
"Victory will be mine! - Alpha said proudly. -
I am the first, the most powerful and strong-willed!"

Omega smiled and said calmly:
“The essence of truth is not in power, and not in primacy.
It is important to live in peace with the surrounding space,
And respect others despite all differences."

The competition began. Alpha ran fast,
He showed his strength and power.
Omega walked to the finish line slowly but surely,
He enjoyed every step and the good weather.

At the end of the road, where the final was,
Alpha was alone, tired and sad.
And Omega, even though he was the last one,
Reached the finish line with a smile and in a good mood.

And so, the people gathered to hear the results.
The miracle did not happen, the prize went to Alpha.
Omega received only a money transfer
From Alpha, of course. From whom else?

So, pumping up muscles and training fortitude,
Don't forget the practical side of things:
If it is not possible to quietly take doping,
Find a couple of losers to emphasize your success.

Alpha and Omega (fable)
