Sheep

Are you of a gregarious nature?

Do you love to be with the herd?

Or are you a free thinker?

Unafraid to stand out from the crowd…

Don’t move silently with the pack,

An opinion of your own you will lack.

Must you have a leader, and be told what to do?

Don’t you fear in doing so, you’ll lose the essence of you?

We’re all innately fearful of the unknown…

It’s easy to let the panic set in,

Everything your leader tells you, you start to believe in.

Making you anxious to express your own opinion.

Unless you stand up and be counted,

You’ll never amount to much.

Don’t let the mob drowned your self-defence,

Find your voice, and shout it loud from the roof tops!

Say these words, out loud,

I will not be a sheep and led down the wide path.

I will take the narrow route and here is where I’ll start…

To know myself, what I believe and paint the streets with my ART!

No longer will I lurk…

In the shadows of my group,

Only speaking when or what they speak,

Despite KNOWING the TRUTH.

I’ve let go of my gullible ways,

I’ll follow you no longer.

You only want to force me down,

A path of desperation and hunger.

From now on I’ll be my own boss.

I don’t need you all to hold my hand,

And lead me in the direction of…

The unpromised land.

Ill now forever depend on me and those whom I can trust,

I’m me, I rock, and I am no longer LOST.
