Watching From Afar (The Shepherds and The Lamb)

No longer the lamb

Fattened for the feast

Sheared for the fleece

Shepherded by the damned

Mindless fellow man

Common mind of the flock

Dictates what you eat

Who will make it big

Who is going to beat

Offered a change of cloths

Lamb into Shepard-man

Battery into dead-ground

Putting out to sucking up

Waking up to falling asleep

Going under the knife or

knifing under belly

Soft fleshy folds to squirt hot blood

Vampire feast happens in the east

Watching from afar

The Shepherds

And The Lamb
