Counting Sheep


Why do we see what is not there?

Is it imagination?

Perhaps it’s based on our facade

Or mass indoctrination


Surely the eyes we’re given though

Are sovereign to the self

And yet we’ll trust a stranger

Who's insistent in his stealth


We don’t like being different

Looking stupid--being odd

Yet ignorance will never be dispelled

By our own fraud


The path to greater wisdom

Thus, is paved with many questions

We cannot hope to know things.

Without probing in dissension


The proud and foolish won’t admit

They’re doomed before they start

They focus on appearance

Rather than on being smart


The trends of mass hypnosis change

As fickle fashions swing

Thus, popular opinion

Is a sheik relative thing


When eyes fix on this pendulum

The soul falls fast asleep

According to this reckoning

There’s no end to counting sheep
