Like Sheep

CATEGORY

life

Thou hast given us like sheep
appointed for meat
and hast scattered us amongst the heathen
breathing in lies like oxygen
Oxymoronic, living dead
dry bones in the valley
probably never come to life
But I
am Ezekiel prophesying
Hear the words and rise!
Crucified
like the one risen
Horus, Krishna,
Osirus, Mithra, Jesus!
Hear the words and rise!
disguised in flesh
yet I attest
You are God,
children of the Most High
open your eyes
I see,
you're asleep at the wheel
playing follow the leader
lead into the slaughter like sheep
Reaping
the consequences
Quenched thirsts are momentary
monetary delights replace
knowledge unsought
truth untaught
equals history repeated
Kings defeated
and Queens dethroned
They said the Lamb of God
is the light of the world
while young girls bear
children
still seeking in the wilder-
ness
just
follow the Sheppard
follow the leader
unconscious deceiver
for the keeper of the gate
burned at the stake
our sons our daughters
while we're being led
like sheep to slaughter
where are all the
fathers?
to bitter some to be one
to blind to see
that the Son is the Sun.
deaf dumb and blind
and a game's being played
on the conditioned minds
and survivors of the slain.
Remaining silent and
confusing it with peace of mind
but the silence is so loud
and the soul is confined.
deaf dumb and blind
just walking asleep
sweep the dirt under the rug
following like sheep.
