Not All Sheep Are Real Poem by Hebert Logerie

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.
