. Sure I knew there were wolves There always are The pastures are no greener And certainly not safer On the other side Yet I didn’t stray . . . I ran away As fast as my feet could carry me Let it said I had an epiphany . . . What with seeing My brothers and sisters Up on hooks in the marketplace As we were yesterday Herded through town But being born and bred Unskilled to a submissive attitude It surely would have been the miracle If the dice had rolled and found me free So here I am Again in the bleating line With that temple terrified Judas Leading us on Still no one can say I didn’t try . |
