Dear Shepherd

Feeling uneasy as I let myself graze, On the mountains I'd anxiously gaze. The shrubs are long enough to indulge the creepers And I dread the wicked hunters Dear shepherd, where hast thou gone Let me not be preyed on Has thou fallen asleep? Do you not dream of your troubled sheep? I cannot parry their sharp claws Nor repel their heavy paws I'd never see the bullets coming Nor the crawlers stalking I thought you'd be my David Like you swore and promised That you'd slay the hunting lions And lead me through the wolves' canyon Hast thou left me for throne of kingship? Art thou tired of my companionship? Do not neglect the caws in the sky Nor ignore my bleat, it's a cry. Tho' I'm safe yet I could already be a target, For my age is still young And those carnivores are just too strong For me to run farther and faster enough And evade the hiding wolf. So dear shepherd Come rescue me from my foe Grab thy bow and arrow Thou art my only hero I know Come save my haunted soul My dear shepherd.
