Are You A Sheep...

…Or Are You A Goat

Yes, there is a better world pending.

But it's not by way of thinking

To hold the gun 

             of the state 

             to the heads

Of the citizenry, 

    and telling them to hand over

Some of their money, in order

To give it to others, in the favor

Of said state  That

Is robbery

                  plain

And simple. 

What is the matter

With you people?

What has been going on

In this country?    

Am I surrounded 

          by patriots

In name only??

With no balls, or

The equivalent thereof???

               Tell me

It's not true, and you 

           are made

Of sterner stuff. 

               Better yet

Show me

                    that

You are sheep

And not goats

To be made a fool of

Constantly.

At least

Our Return

Is inevitable.

In the meantime, we 

Have work to do.

Let's do it 

And in doing so, show

Our better natures

Than these

On parade

At this time

In the passing pageantry

Of life

As we have known it

              …about

To get a boost.
