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
