Sheepskin Democracy

Sheepskin Democracy

A Poem by AndrewTortora

Dear Public Servants, 

 
Sheep follow their masters even
After their wool has been stolen,
But you cannot keep me from straying
Than coming back to steal your flock
All together.
 
These self-righteous undemocratically
Appointed men know only their own
Skewed sense of morality. Make no
Mistake about it, you who have usurped
My rights and replaced them with
Those you find more appropriate,
I am not the last angry man the people
Shall someday awaken from the docile
State you keep them in.
 
On that day you will know great fear,
For you shall be ousted from the pedestals
You’ve built to judge us from, more often with
Contempt than pity, and you shall be exposed
For the world to see so they may know what
Frauds you truly are.
 
Your friend,
The Rebel Sheep
