Absent Minded

The alpha and omega Religious fence sitting for the best of the worlds

Are the stories true?
do we believe in prophets?
like jesus?
(supposedly the son of god an or man)
What about nostradamus
the one who predicted the world was going to end in 3 waves

Tsunami anyone?

so here i am stuck
at this family reunion
literaly stuck
with one leg on one side of the fence
one world
my other leg on the other side of the fence
another level?
another world?
but i'm stuck
by barbed wire

oh the joke im not telling

Sure its funny now
as the sheep baa
and as my uncles and aunts and cousins
at one side of the fence
know nothing of wether or not i was trying to run away from the party or why
how i got stuck on the barbed wire fence
but here i am
with my feet one on two different worlds

one full of sheep
and as i scream for help
the wolves are coming from the forest
and me the man in the middle
what do i do now?

do i rip and tear?
injure myself?
wait to be ripped to shreds by the wolves?
and run among the sheep who will unknowingly guard me and die for me
as my cousins get their rifles and i crawl through the field
bleeding from my groin no longer a man

or do i shoe my cousins and relatives away and try to get them to stop laughing
at my predicament
for they truly dont understand
where exactly the barbed wire has me stapled

wire cutters would work
but ill be eaten alive by the wolves by the time you get them
and the sheep will be busy laughung at me

oh baa
whatever
come on now
you now just as well as me
sitting on a fence is not a good thing
and eventually you have to pick a side
the wolves or the sheep
your family or your friends
but whose gonna get eaten alive
or lose their life for making the wrong move at the wrong time
at the wrong split second decision
inbetween tears crying to the gods
laughing and mocking a man in the middle of it all
on his birthday
at his family reunion


God I'm screaming
I'll do anything to not be eaten by a wolf
baa say the sheep
baa baaa
and the wolves are growling and mother nature knows
i can now relate to this anger
this frustration
this dilema this predicament

winter is coming and the farmer needs the sheep
id like my testicles attached
i do not wish to be a woman
so i know my relatives will not open the gate let the sheep out or endanger
themselves
starve throughout the winter as the sheep clothe them and provide them with food

You wanted a new beginning for mankind and survival of the fittest?
you wanted to know the truth of what its like to bargain with gods
time death fate and flesh and blood and learn new threshholds of pain and fear?

Out come the guns
the wolves close by
guns starts firing shots close by
the wolves howling
as if in laughter
as you beg god again to not let a bullet hit you
but the sheep say baa
baa say the sheep
baa
whatever
makes no difference to them

the sheep die either way
wether you lose an apendsage or not
its all funa nd games to them
they get shaved and milked
they get eaten and tagged
they get herded and caught on fences
now you know what its like
baa says the sheep
and the wolves continue to howl
the shots ring out

with one foot on the green grass
and one foot on the mud on the other side
neither looking anymore promising
youd probably take your chances with the wolves and prove yourslef to be a man
if you could
but then that reduces the heavens to tears\
the foreshadowing of the wind
would have told ytou something
and now its raining
your feet is getting slippery
their running out of bullets
the wolves are good at dodging
your still stuck
and the sheep are still busy nonchalantly complaining and laughing

Whose been fishing too much you wonder
and why are the wolves not eating the fish?>
why are the wolves after the farmers sheep when if no one was poaching
and had mother nature not felt abused
i wouldn't be in this situation looking for refuge
to be madre this example of

I'm to be married tomorrow
dear god
baa say the sheep
i cannot make a husband for my wife if i slip dear heavens
for if i fall the wrong way i will lose everything
care you blind?
can't you see?
the wolves howling in circles
glaring at m,e licking their lips
choose a side to land on i must
as i wrestle with this knot inbetween my legs
and begin to slip

Where are the Angels when you need them?
always soo far away!!!
Today was supposed to be the best day of my life
for i was running away dear wolves
i begin trying to explain
to marry a princess
and trust me ive been fighting with my family

If i fall on your side let me be please
tomorrow is my wedding day and im going to be late already
heck if i keep what i want i'll open the gate for the sheep
If i fall on the other side
i still have to run away
my choice has been made for me by love you see wolves
and even though today is my birthday
and you were uninvited to my party
id hate for things to end up in tragedy for either of our families

I will find the fishermen stealing your fish from your streams
before the bears come to town
but seriously wolves im just a man in the middle of soo much right now
i need to return to the garden and if you like you can help me pick some flowers
for tomorrows wedding
I've already ruined my tix as ypou can see
and my honeymoon will have to be postponed
But you see what i deal with everyday wolves?
dodging bullets and laughed at by my victoms
as the gods torment me?

I dislike my family and you can have the sheep
I will talk to the fishermen once i get unstuck
survival of the fittest, but if we work together
we can all have what we want
or i can convince everyone to get what we want
and we'll go from there

Fence sitting with wolves and nightmares we're running away from
disbelieving the prophet who told me this would happen
and now the first wave has hit hasn't it
tsunami
two waves and the world is over
i must choose a side to fall onto
to become a wolf a man or a sheep
to die on the fence
fail or pass the test
and keep what i want intact
but the story is far from over

the sheep say baaa
the wolves howl an glare
my family all have guns and knives
the gods seem to mock me and i dont know what?
