Thought Streams from The River of Life

Shepherds or Sheep

By Keith McHughPublished 11 months ago 1 min read
"Violets are not blue" 8x10 Acrylic by;Keith McHugh

Words flow like water,

Actions never falter,

You're the Son or Daughter,

Of a Mighty Creator.

Capable of greater things,

Than any money can bring,

Trust the way and sing,

Songs worthy of listening.

You're The Queen, The King,

Bringing hope to your Being,

Being the proof by evening,

Changing the routine.

Even if you don't believe,

Our Creator sees you the same.

Be an observer of the game,

See how they keep you lame,

Tamed into a seat.

The Truth incomplete,

They bind your feet,

Being discrete.

A shepherd needs a fleet,

A flock to feed,

Sheep waiting to eat,

From the space under their feet.

If you were to leave,

It's money they grieve for,

Looking for more sheep,

To give them money to keep.
