Pick a pack of pickled fate <br />From which the small will tend and rate <br />Look and see the crowd around <br />Lead like sheep and shepherd bound <br /> <br />Some would say that shepherd’s way <br />Is set forth by his own day <br />Yet not to be the sheep in flock <br />Seem to be the things sheep mock <br /> <br />With open minds we’re different <br />They follow us without intent <br /> <br />Mock of what, when why and who <br />Leaking thoughts behind what’s true <br />Fear and fright will misconstrue <br />Making mocks of me and you <br /> <br />If I would to, were to, have to guess <br />Then all my guess, would be at best <br />To which I’d say by end of day <br />We follow sheep with shepherd’s way<br /><br />Paul Moosberg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mocking-of-sheep/
