The Black Sheep
Dec 4th 2008Kirk NugentLife
They say of every bunch, there’s one that makes you weep,
And of my family, I AM THAT BLACK SHEEP!
I don’t subscribe to their schools,
Don’t abide by their rules.
I know that my mind is my jewel
So I refuse to work like a mule
In someone else’s quest for wealth, I am no tool!
I know that my thought is what I brought
I sow what I reap
Therefore I am proud to be the Black sheep!
The Black sheep dares to be different so he chooses to think,
In negativity he doesn’t allow his thoughts to sink.
The Black Sheep wants more than to be lead by a shepherd,
He wants to choose his destiny, he demands to be heard.
He lives in the moment with all the gusto that he can,
The Black Sheep ignores the limitations set by man.
The Black sheep knows that in order to grow he has to risk something,
So he leaves the flock and he searches with in!
When he left he realizes that to another level he has grown,
It took blood, sweat and tears to break the barriers of his comfort zone!
He visualize his mind as a garden, so constantly he weeds,
Because the garden is kept clean, his horizon recedes.
The Black sheep sees life, but not through the shepherd’s eyes
He doesn’t fear the test, because he knows that he was born to testify,
So he watches; watches as the other sheep try to justify,
Their mediocre lives and minds that have been deprived,
They’re obsequious to their boss and condescending to their wives.
They play the game without ever questioning the rules,
You call them sheep, I call them a flock of fools!
The Black sheep question the rules,
He’s not enclosed by the shepherd’s fence.
If the shepherd is always right, then why was he given a conscience?
The Black sheep dares to be different, so he chooses to exercise his mind,
The Black sheep is a rare creature, the rarest of mankind!
DARE TO BE DIFFERENT!!!!!
