Sheep Will Be Sheep

following the flock staying in line most of the time until their death bell chimes and the butcher comes from behind and plunges the knife to end their life as they knew it They say that the truth will set you free but most people wouldn’t see it if you hit them on the forehead with it swallowing the Kool-aid because they were told it’s orange Gatorade They’d rather take lies as truth and walk blindly into the sword of injustice

- Contrary to popular belief, sheep are extremely intelligent animals... perhaps smarter than humans... "They’d rather take lies as truth and walk blindly into the sword of injustice", Jerry :) - hugs
