Poetry : The Portrait Of The Sheep



The Portrait Of The Sheep

 

I saw dreamy spirals in their eyes

Their faces so confident and sure

Watching the smiling wolves advertise

Accepting fiction as true & pure

 

The labour of thought outsourced

The labour of rationality ignored

The labour of logic greatly bored

Treasure of sweet lies happily stored

 

Sapiens believe what they want to

Sapiens see what they want to see

The sky is spicy if they don’t like blue

Fact becomes what they perceive it to be

 

Judgements marred heavily by emotion

Masked by overestimated intelligence

Such is the picture of the sheep’s devotion         

Marionette strings bought with diligence
