Life in a pen




The sheep were all gathered

A worried look on their face

For if what they heard was true

Wiped out would be their race


Their race

Now that was a joke

For among them they had

Differences that forever kept them broke


They looked all alike

Yet the equality was misleading

Some were superior & born twice

While the remaining did their bidding


Herbivores and harmless they seemed

Yet in cruelty they surpassed the worst

Darwin would turn in his grave

As his theory they simply bust


The fittest gene no more survived

For the twice born used the meme

Enslave the minds was what they did

And the unfit could do as they deem


The sheep multiplied and rapidly expanded

Their bleats turning into thunderous roar

Ravaging the countryside of all it had

Scaring everyone from canine to boar


Their strength came not from numbers

But from the captivity of their mind

The safe cocoon of categories did the trick

Each sheep having pride in their kind


Like zombies they believed and behaved

Ne'er one could from the path stray

A fully disjointed group yet a large one

In differences, their unity lay


As is wont of every safe haven

The pioneering risk was absent

Anyone could come and rule

So long as the status quo was present


Everyone waited for the lion to come

Who would provide the leadership needed

For the fear of the wolf kept them trembling

In nightmares they often bleated


Ne'er trusting anyone amongst them

To combat fear they sought information

Learning and growing while among them they fought

Their eyes turned upwards, pregnant with expectation


Any pioneer, anyone who could take risk

Was condemned to be the wolf in sheep's clothing

Buccaneers who'd often provide directions

Were treated with scorned loathing


Nipping in the bud any potential lion

While their populace got a bloating

They looked askance for guidance but alas

All they got were sheep in wolf's clothing
