Charcoal Sheep

Watery eyed thoughts came,
Zap! Pow!  a short circuited brain.
Inward turned burned ocular pain,
too many thoughts to restrain 
I’m a cheap sheep making my mistakes again.
Smell my seared wool going down the drain. 
Ba ba ba, sorta blackish, wishing I was right as rain.

Worlds accessed by my fingertips
help to quicken this sheepish heartbeat. 
I bang on my keyboard, DELETE, DELETE!
Ripping out digital scores, sheet by sheet. 
Never once listening to warnings.
All the while the other sheep bleat.
Instead I feel my brain drain
as my barnyard thoughts  strain.
I can’t  translate what they’re saying,
but I feel them point and complain. 
My paradigm won’t  shift though,
I have a glass ego to maintain.
So I download my brain 
into my mainframe.

I’m watching you fake shepherd boy, 
black sheep never sleep.
Into the darkness 
we’re destined to creep. 
We have those sad sadistic secrets 
you’ve burdened us to keep.
So I smudge charcoal thoughts 
dangerously deep.

I prefer paths, dangerous and steep. 
Within the silence of the lambs, 
you devilishly relish hearing me weep. 
You defile fleece as white as snow. 
I resist going where those sheep go. 
Their path leads to your fictional rainbow.
They’re not safe even though
they travel slow.

The True Shepherd 
wouldn’t lead them to and fro. 
I listen to my uneasy queasy feeling 
and exit your proverbial row.
I wish I could stop them too
but, ba ba ba, 
off to the slaughter they go.
