Mutton Fill

1.10.2018

 

We live in a society

Of wolves and sheep

We need sheep dogs

We need a shepherd

And in this society

Of wolves and sheep

Who signed the log with her name

Who invited the leopard

 

Now Galileo’s under house arrest

And Turing’s denied hero of his enigmatic quest

Whom we should rely

We trust the least

Yet we invite them to the table

And only to find

We are the feast

 

And it doesn’t stop there

Money’s stolen unaware

‘Cause someone’s gotta flip the bill

Won’t be they who pay the fare

It’s we that will

We’ll pay the price

We pay it twice

We pay gratuity and bill

But first as mutton fill

 

For dessert you’ll find

No cherry on top

After mutton fill

They prefer a lamb chop

Then it's time to pay the bill

 

From the wolves’ mouths foaming

Words slither past the teeth

The lying and the loathing

They form a dung heap

With mutton laced coating

Evidence of how you get a sheep

A sheep in wolf’s clothing

It's how you get a sheep in wolf’s clothing

 

We live in a society

Of wolves and sheep

We need sheep dogs

We need a shepherd

 

So in this society

Of wolves and sheep

Leave the shepherd to man the log

And don’t invite the leopard
