Herding Sheep

We used to have some pride Before Uncle Sam put it to sleep The government governed people Now they are herding sheep We used to take a stand Against what we thought was wrong We used to show the world That the U.S. could be strong Now we act like robots We look the other way People still believe In the lies they have to say They tell us what to eat They tell us what to drink They tell us what to say They tell us what to think We just bow our heads and accept it We bury our heads so deep We keep losing ground on humanity While they keep herding sheep It's time to take a stand For the things we know are right It will be our own fault If we go down without a fight Then we will be human again And have some pride that we can keep We can force them to govern people Instead of herding sheep.

You do present all of the reasons everyone in this country should be at the poles voting. If only they would take to heart what you have said we would see what the Constitutation was written for. I don't know the answers, Vince all we can do is just keep praying. God Bless, Cile
