Our Pastures

Life is made up of laws and rules
we teach to follow them and obey

But do we teach ourselves how not to follow
when we need to think for ourselves

To be strong and independent
and follow our own conscience

What happens when we are not prepared
to overcome the dangers of the world

That we have become sheep 
and our pastures have become full of wolves
