\nWriters Artists Night 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nYou know what I speak. You\u2019ve read the tweets.
\n\u201cBe unique people! Don\u2019t be sheeple.
\nThink for yourselves. All thoughts are not equal.\u201d
\nWe speak bleak and make mean statements that sweep about asleep peeps acquiescing to steep creeps.
\nAbout presidents and their veeps, weak speak and weaker meat.
\nDo the trends keep your guilt steep?
\nAre Instagram and TikTok interfering with sleep?
\nTemp treats if you can manage the upkeep.
\nThis way doesn\u2019t produce a life sweet.
\nBut I find peace in seeking to be sheep.
\nSheep sleep sound sittin\u2019 \u2018side a Shepherd\u2019s keep.
\nMy Shepherd speaks strength to my weak knees.
\nHe leads me beside the quiet water\u2019s deep.
\nHe separates us from the goats at the end of the scene.
\n(Matthew 25 verse 42 and 33)
\n“For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat”
\nThen the goats are cast out for not caring for the least.
\nWhile the 99 are chillin\u2019, eating green grass
\nThat 1 that got away? God\u2019s searching for his bleep.
\nOpen up the Book and see what our God speaks
\nPsalm 80, 23, and 79:13
\nEzekiel 34 and Jeremiah 23
\nSo who\u2019s got beef with being a sheep?
\nOne thing is for sure. I don\u2019t want to be a goat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
