How Much Like Sheep

how much like sheep we are

how much like sheep we are  today
how easily we are led astray
we seek out gossip like cool green grass
then we become not sheep but ass
as asses we do bray
more lies and slander upon our way
until the clamour falls loudly upon our ears
causing so much heartbreak.and many tears.

we should instead be like birds of love
cooing gently like the dove
or keeping busy like the bee
or like the deer living quietly
