Shepherd's Flock

Let the wolves starve.

Author's Notes: Inspired by Tiffany Gordon's poem, "Children of The Light."

As lambs follow the light

Wolves in sheep's clothing try to sneak their way in

To tear apart the light that's gathered forth

To cast shadows from the light, engulfing it in darkness for all its worth

By Guillaume Archambault on Unsplash

Let the lambs, the sheep, and the rams grow full coats of wool

The Protector's Love protects ourselves, as the wolves will only eat their full

Of the wool that they've bitten and sunk into with their teeth

The wolves, though belly full, will starve and not feast on our meat

By Grégoire Bertaud on Unsplash

For the blood of the lamb shall stay with the blood of its people

Leading us with integrity towards the steeple

For we are not sacrifices met to be placed on an altar

For we sacrifice that which converts us into wolves, making us falter

By Francesco Alberti on Unsplash

Not fearing the arrow that flies by day nor the knife in the night

As You say, "We are the 'Children of The Light'..."
