The Herder vs. The Shepherd by Coletha Albert

Every moment

In my sleep

The Herder drove me

The Herder gave me no peace

The Herder never tended to me

The Herder made me lean and mean

The Herder sees me as a commodity

The Herder despises every side of me

The Herder despises the soul of me

The Herder makes the path to my death

Easy for me

The Herder leads me to my death by depriving me

The Herder deprives me of love

The Herder deprives me of humanity

The Herder deprives me of dignity

The Herder deprives me of integrity

The Herder degrades and defiles me

And calls it divinity

While

The Shepherd comforts me

The Shepherd covers me

The Shepherd protects me

The Shepherd guides me lovingly

The Shepherd deserves my loyalty

The Shepherd understands me

The Shepherd embraces me

The Shepherd cares for me

The Shepherd allows me to care for him too

I don’t know you but I understand me

My soul chooses the Shepherd over the Herder eternally.

Are you in the care of a Shepherd or the clutches of the Herder?
