Poetry

Christians

The feeble tottering little feet

Of market driven woolly sheep

Go trotting into market square,

As Christians neither look nor care.

 

For people carrying cuts of meat

Don't connect them to the trotting feet

Now locked up in their concrete pound

The sheep watch Christians, howeaward bound.

 

Next time you're in a market square

And see the sheep imprisoned there,

Glance into a pleading face -

Can you go home, and still day grace?
