Herding Poems | Examples


Premium MemberCanadian Broadcasting Corperation

Not so TREU, will monopolise through and though
It will be better, if you could forget about your
And the long two weeks' that broke who..?
Maybe me? Or you? What can people do?
Well Gandi did peaceful non compliance i'll bet
That reality is not being taught to children today
By sociialist teaching and their doctrinal apprentice's 
Or you can choose to euthanise, its a slanted word
Situation that echoes a term known as genocide
There is also the word infantacide, there are phobias
And misnomers so theres plenty coming right at
You.' (Reality tv should amuse) anethesise you mind
In a world that were'e told is kind? And be sure to say
Take care ' Treat others with respect, let the authoritys
Break their necks; or pepper spray any 75 year olds in
Their way.!
Its only double standards if you don't look the other
Way... Deau.)

Premium MemberCharles Goat Herding Peddler

deep down in deer hollow near miser governor’s bullfrog swamp
lived bachelor peddler charles mccartney who walked with a stomp
bleating gnarly nannies and bad news billies traveled with him
he named them starbelly, cheeseburger, loud nat and old Jim

the town heard him coming way ahead of the time he’d arrive
screaming goats and bells and loud noises on wagon he’d drive
loud bleating and bawling and manure drops left deep in our road
he was bringing bunches of new merchandise, a big load

Premium MemberHe Is Herding the Hens

Where is the new foreman I asked.
He’s down in the barn, herding the hens
I ran right down. Hens are quite a task.
He had brand new bib overalls; he fit right in

He’s a little young isn’t he? I asked my mom
You were younger, she quickly reminded me
The hens took to him like a hypnotic ‘om’.
I was the proudest parent I could ever be.

Premium MemberHerding Puppies

Have you ever had a dream where you were herding puppies,
But they were piling on each other, licking, and lollygagging,
Laughing, and giggling, and incessantly playing?
Have you wished perpetually to dance, and color, and sing, and play
All day long?
Do you understand that children want love 
More than food or water or air?
Do you get excited about silly stuff?
Can you tell jokes?
Do you know what a riddle is?
Can you put all your sarcasm on a stove burner and burn it up?
Do you like to dance?
To sing?
To skip?
To hop?
Would you like to dress in a bunny suit and read a story, as a bunny?
Do you respect and love children?
Do they amuse you?
Can you be amused without making fun of them?
Congratulations.
You, my dear, are a kindergarten teacher.

Herding of the Masses

There is a disease in our species
A bacterium that feeds on faces of the weak,
A spreading paradigm of sickness and disease.
Puncturing greatness and confidence leaks.
There is a insecurity among our species,
A herder tending to his sheep,
A continuous need to follow,
Abandoning the need to be.
There is a meek shade of gray,
Staining the people while they sleep,
Loneliness with other colors,
To be content amongst the weak.
There is a set of wings amongst our species,
Forced closed and weighted down,
Feathers that speak of revelation,
Are shed in heaps throughout this town

Premium MemberHerding Sheep

We used to have some pride
Before Uncle Sam put it to sleep
The government governed people
Now they are herding sheep
We used to take a stand 
Against what we thought was wrong
We used to show the world
That the U.S. could be strong
Now we act like robots
We look the other way
People still believe
In the lies they have to say
They tell us what to eat
They tell us what to drink
They tell us what to say
They tell us what to think
We just bow our heads and accept it
We bury our heads so deep
We keep losing ground on humanity
While they keep herding sheep
It's time to take a stand
For the things we know are right
It will be our own fault
If we go down without a fight
Then we will be human again
And have some pride that we can keep
We can force them to govern people
Instead of herding sheep.
