Shepherd's Shame
Shepherd’s Shame
The wolf with his evil trickery,
And his bloody bitter history,
With sheep cannot be trusted.
For he had an abyssal hatred,
A feeling deep as the ocean,
Of the sheepdog and his devotion.
Wolf comes stealthily in the
morning,
Sheepdog barks a loud forewarning.
Shepherd screams a terrible “Shush!”
And imprisons the sheepdog with a
push.
Then the shepherd goes to sleep,
Abandoning all the innocent sheep.
The wolf runs out from the dark
wood,
And gobbles sheep like no one ever
could.
The sheepdog imprisoned in his cage,
Watched on helplessly at the carnage.
The shepherd dozing through the
wolf’s deceit,
Allowing the angelic sheep’s defeat.
Then suddenly the shepherd awakes,
And roars like a million
earthquakes.
“Why ever did you not protect my
flock?”
The sheepdog answers, “How about the
lock
You chained me with so willingly?”
Shepherd glares at him chillingly.
Leaders around the globe today,
With fame and wealth are led astray.
Practicable advice they heed not,
Revealing to enemies their weak spot.
Tragedy knocks at the citizens’ door,
Then leaders are silent no more.
Instead they furiously blame
Activists for their own shame.
