Lambs for the slaughter!

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!"

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.
