Lambs

To keep us safe they came for our guns, then our thoughts we had to sleepwalk for exercise. We became fat and lazy, fed as we were on manipulated lamb offerings. They sent us to war against ourselves. Then the soil itself surrendered allowing the sky to wash away our history. The younger people had no memory of us, however, they taught us to be good and never talk of how it was before the big people made us happy.
