Sheeple

Sheeple of the world
Line up for your slaughter
Your bell has tolled
and you are used for barter

Your DNA is databased
Your identity can be erased
You follow blindly
and baa- baa kindly

Your wool will be shorn
Your hooves will be torn
Yet you shall follow
Being so shallow

Leisure

"LEISURE"

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

By Wm. Henry Davies.
