Join Our Flock
Like lambs led to the slaughter
We party, we smoke, we drink, we laugh
We all look good in our lovely dresses,
You’re welcome to join our flock of sheep
Look at us all, we’re so very precious.
***
We tend to group together in our flock
And ridicule all those that won’t,
We follow the flocks’ petty little rules
And destroy those of you who don’t.
***
We form into one large hive like mind
No longer need to think for ourselves,
It’s easier if we’re all on the same page
Peace in the flock, we are compelled.
***
The authorities try to set the rules
We believe we know better than them,
They’ve no way of knowing us at all
After all, we’re good young women.
***
We used to listen to both sides of things
We would daydream about tomorrow,
But once one sheep jumped over the fence
We were all very quick to follow.
***
Life was so good when you broke the rules
We realised we didn’t need to go to school,
We told each other we’d all be fine
Not realising, that all sheep are fools.
***
We were young and thought we’re tough
But really we were just treading water,
Now it’s time for the flock to leave school
Naive lambs heading to the slaughter.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
