Satan, the Bad Shepherd
SATAN, THE BAD SHEPHERD
The Shepherd of the World
knows where to find his flock
and how to change their minds
and teach them what is not.
He knows what sheep want.
He knows what to say.
How to trick those sheep
to see things his way.
The Shepherd of the World
reads good and bad books.
He knows what impresses sheep
and how to control his looks.
He''s learned from other Shepherds
who've done this thing before,
who have so confused their sheep
that they died for them and more.
He plots out each move
as he pushes them to play.
With the money that he makes
he gives them back stale hay.
The Shepherd of the World
knows how to lock sheep in.
And what do they do for him?
They call him Friend.
