Animal Charm

We’ve become so far off beam

Things are just not what they seem

Subdued hearts, born so bold 

Gather like sheep, and wait to be sold

Claptrap and lies that pretend  to explain,

Delivered by weasels who stand to gain.

From economics to religion

Experts as savvy, as a pigeon

Strutting about they bluster and preen

Selling their souls to be part of the team

Parroting deluded mind-numbing songs

To bamboozle the sheeple and do them wrong.

 

Sheep spend their lives in fear of the wolf

But it’s shepherds bring  slaughter, and steal their wool

And  always  anxious to stay in the fold

Sheeple baa and bleat, but do what they’re told

For those weasels must be right, they’ve been to college

With certificates and all that knowledge.

Alas, from these middle-class finishing schools

Are belched compliant, tailored fools

Eager and paid to do their bit

And make the pieces appear to fit

At the Boss hogs bidding , they tow the line

Stealing and serving the spoils to the swine

And unleashing the dogs when the rams butt in anger 

At their suffocating avalanche of rank propaganda..

 

So what may we come to really know

With our heads submerged in this status quo,

Searching for sweet certainties 

As to how things are, and what they‘ll be?

Join me and let’s climb over the fence

Look back, and examine the evidence

And from this, we shall reveal

The deep disquiet that we all feel

Observing the edifice on which we stand

Its thin foundations built on sand.
