Bora born
Sheep like goats _
Such an old parable has it's modern day
run, a test of it's truth some people would say.
Service to others beats service to self, no
life choices could be simpler it would seem, yet
the masses still rebel as if in a dream.
An ancient evil passes this way to wrap
this planet in blankets of patterned false fear.
A tragedy for those inexperienced
in life, as victimhood projects in me too
no hand me down do's or don'ts sense what to do.
Drawn to this place of correspondence in kind
with those goats who trend to creator's left hand.
In some sense of it all we do to ourselves
through murder and pillage in cycles of hells
on the macro and micro pull the chain tells.
Creator's sword of justice Mother Russia
sets the boundaries of just how far goats may go.
Her warriors defend innocents, beware
Michael the Arch Engel's might destined to be
by creator's right hand knelt on bended knee.
Lives given over their deepest desires find
room in those hells where insipid demons creep.
Such is their reward as evil crumbles in
plain sight as armed forces will rise then protect
kind heart peopleye truth in goodness reflects.
