Sheep & Scapegoats (version 2)

Unique structure for me. You'll like it. I promise....

 Spillin on the paper

     Mind, I'll see you later

                                      Over the top, Over the top

   It's spilling on the paper

      I am here to wait for

                                 My Sheep herd and my scapegoats

   Go 'head and stick around,

                                     If you wanna get the blame for

   My flaws and my mistakes

   All that I am ashamed for

                               You'll feel my pain.  You'll make me sane

                                  My sheep herd and my scapegoats

          Paper, Paper

     Spillin on the paper

                                     If you fail to understand

               Good luck

          I'll see you later

                                          Mind, I'll see you later

                                         Spilling on the paper

       Stay right here

          Inside my hand

                                My sheep herd and my scapegoats

       Dear mister catastrophy

                                  Come and stay a while

                         I need you and many more

                    To have someone to blame for

                      The makings of my shame, or

                                                  A faceless set of troops who're

                                                  Munitions for my game, war

                                                  So that I'm neither slain nor

                                               Berated and detained for

                                               Incitement and disfavour

JMG..........you are my kind of guy........there will be no conforming in my book and I don't care to be a sheep. Excellent piece

I think that this poem can have a double meaning. See, with the line, 'It's spilling on the paper' could mean that you're writing a poem.Artists walk a very fine line between sanity and insanity.I'm glad you didn't break your promise.

It looked better on HP, sadly. I tried to center the ones in the middle, unsuccessfully. The final copy doesn't look the same as the one on the word processor at this website.

[Chris Smith Welshpoetcs]

Good form on this one.

Last line, change "the" to "This" : "This existence I arranged for".

I think I like this better the second time around. Did you change it at all from when it was up on HP?
