This is You

Wolves
Tell the sheep:

You don’t see us
Our teeth our hunger our own pain

You won’t see what we must do
To you

You see life and love through the lense
Of human beings

Oh how sweet
How touching
Friends and neighbors

We see you
Through what we want

Your wool your blurry vision
Your care for the Lamb

It’d be best if the world went dark
The last light
Doused

By us for you

Make you blind and bleating
Then what will you do

But worship us?
