Three Roles

Over stand these R the 3 characters we play
U can become aware begin changing & Evolving 2day
What will happen 2 U the sheep if U become aware
Will U awaken from slumber R will U freeze right there in fear
Which would U primarily become  If U R willing 2 evolve
What will happen 2 the present balance that exists
It is not Ur theory 2 solve
No 1 knows while tomorrow is becoming 2day
Nothing will stop it as it continues on its way
This is a warning 2 the herdsman & the wolf
& a wakeup call 2 the sheep
Stop counting with the rest of the flock & awaken before
U’re consumed 4 Ur meat
Consuming U Sheep
2 sustain others is a must
But 4 U Sheep it is Bleak
While 4 a wolf it is a thrilling nourishing rush
There R sheep herdsmen & wolves
All of whom have a part to play
Sheep R often scared when frightened frozen
like an ice statue they stay
They R all devoured consumed & appreciated
the herdsman wants 2 protect the flock from other herdsmen
& wolves
sheep R for warmth & breeding & making tasty foods
Nothing is evil here
This is the cycle by design
Wolves like herdsmen know the cycle & consume at opportune times
The wolves & herdsmen survive because they shape shift in
& out of character role
Exploiting what they know 4 a constant change 2 their
advantage 2 unfold
Sheep R simply live stock a basic commodity
these R the 3 roles learn them adapt & evolve when ready
In this life there is a planet of sheep
Only mountains of herdsmen
& yet oceans of wolves lurking in packs who usually R alone
when they attack
Shape shifting Morphing roles evolving means becoming
aware
When the truth is exposed 2 U
It is never clear
What R if transformation will take place
A herdsman is wiser & calmer
But herdsmen kill each other 2
Over physical property both territory & flock R
revolving issues
Wolves are wild & untamed with penetrating fangs
Rogue & clinching 2 cloak in the foliage of rocks & vegetation
the herdsman will
destroy the wolf if presented that situation
sometimes they shape shift and take part in a slaughterhouse calamity
But they rarely morph into sheep unless studying another
herdsman’s rambling
Having your hair cut off is 1 thing
But by design sheep R for consuming.
All days for all living R numbered
still the sheep R docile followers who slumber
Choose 2
Evolve
& shape shift 4 Ur advance
Know the 3 characters we all play
Before Ur end while U still have a chance
2 become AWARE Enlightened
& finally awakened 2 the 3 roles

I too agree. Unfortunately the original version was said to be too many characters and thus was re-animated in the version you see to fit. Sorry about that. Feel free to preview the montage on youtube. google "3Roles by Paradox"
