Lambs for the slaughter!

Lambs for the slaughter!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

As the shepherd walked
Out onto the balcony
Caesar the leader
Looked down on his flock.
The sheep below awaited his command
He waved. They roared.
Baa! Baa!
He said " The grass is a lot greener on the other side of the fence"
The crowd cheered. " Baa! Baa!"
He just told them
What they wanted to hear.
Elections were next week.
Caesar retreating from
The balcony said to himself.
"Lambs are back on the menu!"

Thank you zunie:)
The hypocrisy of our politicians. You glorified it here. An amusing piece, no doubt. Showing the hidden agendas behind every politician.

Ha ! The truth in these words are shameful , we would couldn't laugh about it, we'd cry. I've know a fair of politicians, some of which I've used the sheep analogy only in a different manner.
