Not All Sheep Are Real

Ladies and gentlemen, not every sheep are real Some are camouflaging behind the edacious lion's veil Other devious ones will call you brothers or sisters So they can swallow you like little chunks of lobsters In actuality, they're ravenous robbers and stabbers. Countless people are solely into their best interests They do not give a crab about your well-being. Rest Assured that your good friends will stay with you in time Of unsavory disasters. They will even commit a foolish crime On your behalf, to shield or protect you and your tomorrow Your best friends or comrades will swallow pain or sorrow For you. But the fake ones will stab, rear stab or backstab So they can move ahead of the line. Power and money will rob Your heart, soul and spleen for no apparent or logical reasons Do your best now, today and tomorrow. Many glorious seasons Are forthcoming, friends. Patience is the best remedy for failure Be real. Yet the bad sheep will get caught and punished by nature Know who your friends are and stay away from the giant vulture Some sheep are well disguised jaguars or lions that lie and devour.
