Like Sheep

We'd listened to political liars debate
And we never questioned the motives
Of those who'd then have power, wealth
Like sheep to the slaughter was our fate
Our dreams of having gold so explosive
Each of the liars were bad for our health
Why let them rule or give them power
Or allow them access to war machines
Destroying a world in under an hour
We ignored instincts and the stories told
We are like sheep led to slaughter
We placed our future upon an altar
Sacrificing our new generations, for gold

"Thus the lights went out, and in that moment
civilization in Fort Repose retreated a hundred
years...          So ended The Day.” Pat Frank
