They say aristocrats have blue blood
But their blood is red like mine
I have spilled enough blood to prove everyone's is red
The aristocrats die the same as the rest of us
Death is such a wonderful equalizer
The all die with tears in their eyes
Wishing they had longer in this world
If loved ones are nearby they tell them to be brave
They all die the same
One death scene is the same as another
The same script just change the actors and location
Do they all learn how to die?
Is that one of their Jellicle classes?
Today children we will learn how to die
You must always have tears in your eyes
But not allow yourself to cry
You must always say if only I had had more time with you
Then tell your loved one what you would have changed
Then you must tell them to be brave for your other loved ones
And that children is how to die a Jellicle death
I suppose Jennyanydots teaches that one
She is very concerned with the Jellicle way to do things
It's not such a stretch to suppose that includes the way to die
She wants the tribe to be perfect
She's as bad as Old Deuteronomy for traditions
Old Deuteronomy refuses to break tradition
Munkustrap is not the Protector so why does he act like one?
Basically because the real Protector cannot be bothered
He'd rather flirt with kittens
It's somewhat unfair that Munkustrap won't lead the tribe
Only his sense of duty keeps him there
I left in protest
Old Deuteronomy is so concerned with tradition
He will destroy the tribe
He made Tugger the eldest son Protector
Because the Protector always becomes the Leader
And the Leader is always the eldest son
Even if the eldest son is a twit
I argued against the decision
But Old Deuteronomy said that it was tradition
Tradition cannot be broken
So my beloved tribe will be taken over by Tugger
And my beloved tribe will be destroyed
They thought I wanted to lead the tribe
But I wanted Munkustrap to lead the tribe
He dreamed of making the tribe stronger
He dreamed of making the tribe proud
Tugger dreams of making the tribe in love with him
Tugger dreams of making the tribe shocked with him
Why is he being given the tribe?
Why is tradition so important?
Is tradition worth the tribe.
