Bad Shepherd

BAD SHEPHERD The Shepherd of the World knows where to find his flock and how to change their minds and teach them what is not. He knows what sheep want. He knows what to say. How to trick those sheep to see things his way. The Shepherd of the World reads good and bad books. He knows what impresses sheep and how to control his looks. He's learned from other Shepherds who've done this thing before, who've so confused their sheep that they died for them and more. He plots out each move as he pushes them to play. With the money that he makes, he gives them back stale hay. The Shepherd of the World knows how to lock sheep in. And what do they do for him? They call him friend. Janet Marie Bingham
