POEM

SHEEP
by Brian McLaughlin

Sheep
they follow
never seeing the world 
for themselves
they all become alike
they have no individual traits

told where they can go
they are limited as to what world 
has to offer
hounded by the dogs
who move them toward a pen
they say for there own protection
yet it is for the shepherd
truly an issue of control

the wolves will always be there
the pen is no protection

those who have not learned 
to stand on their own will fall

those who become as the big horn
will experience life

  1. I love it when others say I should not call religious "SHEEPLE" as if it is an insult when by their thinking, actions, and dogma they all refer to themselves as sheep!

    1. sheep will blindly follow without questioning. this lack of self knowledge can become the quickest road to the abyss as you are living the beliefs of another and not your own.
