“The seed of revolution is repression.” Woodrow Wilson
Prepare Yourselves Scions of Richard the lll, we the sheep are so tired of your eternal and turbulent days where we walk among wolves, devoured by your lies that suck the life out of us like walking through a field of mud that sucks the boots off your feet impeding any will to motion, well, prepare yourselves because we the sheep are flocking together. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

I love the metaphor of the sheep flocking together, silently gathering, more and more and more of them. They’re not going to charge or stampede. They are going to stand together as a flock so large and so impenetrable it cannot be moved. This idea seems to follow from your “stand lightly” poem.

Well spotted, it did indeed follow on, I was in a groove, am in a groove. I like your description. I spent time as a sheep farmer and they behave in exactly that way.

There comes a straw that finally breaks the camel’s back, and then yes, We the Sheep will finally gather our collective selves and act … perhaps to save the world from an ugly dictator with some sort of strange animal on his head.

I’m actually reading the book … I’m about halfway through now. There was a time I could have read the entire 220-page book in a night, but these days I just don’t seem to have as much time to read! It is enlightening in the background of Trump and his siblings, and some have said it gives them empathy for Trump. I still don’t find a shred of empathy for him, for despite our childhoods, when we become adults we have a responsibility to become educated and rise about our beginnings. But definitely interesting reading.
