Wide-eyed with feet in false worlds
the sheep pray for the sheep herd.
The shepherd preys for flocks;
a collared god who baits and hounds
with bread and book; with trap and crook.
He tuts at ticks and crosses forms.

Insanity: a cage to hold the weak
of will and fleet of  foot, where hope
is lost as surely as redemption is
a priest to pain and path from hell.
My keeper and my brother are the same
both deal in madness and with death.

You really ARE good and faster than Superman!

"a collared god who baits and hounds
with bread and book; with trap and crook.
He tuts at ticks and crosses forms."

Thanks for the replies.

Tomtoo,

I was rebelling against the direction that CA has taken and the ruthless oppression of the Moderators in that forum.

Actually that’s not true, this may explain the reason.
