Bend From the Fold

Keep your wishes unspoken Let your dreams dissolve in the morning light Beware of your thoughts Make sure your words are correct Feelings of others outweigh your tripe liberties You can only save the world by being the same Oneness of life and purity of visions Mock and hate any individual danger Shutdown voices with alternate views Saftey is the warmth of likeness Comfort is the joy of conformity All alike and equal in outcome Beleive is you are taught Be as you are told All is planned For peace For better For the common good... The lost lamb has strayed from the flock A shepherd returns her to the fold She tells the other sheep of her freedom Running free with the wild goats That shepherd grabs her And slits her throat Dresses her carcass for the evening meal This was the one to kill Her will was too strong Never stray from the flock Never bend from the fold
