Sheeple Parade
by Ronald W. Hull → (All Poetry by Ronald W. Hull)

It seems that most people want to be led by authority rather than making wise choices. I guess it's part of the natural "herd" instinct that creates mobs and has people running off doing stupid things following stupid prophets of good fortune or doom without a snowball's chance in hell of it ever happening.

Sheeple Parade


Rump-a-ta, Rump-a-ta walk the line,
see all the sheeple doing double time.

See all the sheeple in a neat row,
1984, here we come … here we go!

Rump-a-ta, Rump-a-ta, here we go,
space cadets in uniform, don't you know.

We all have our axes that we sharply grind,
Rump-a-ta, Rump-a-ta, in our due time.

Faces in Facebook, all favorites in tow,
fads are sheeple fancy, at least for now.

Marching down to Walmart discounts,
got a get a little piece of my me, so.

Use phone time to text a line, everybody's fine.
Rump-a-ta, Rump-a-ta, it's Amazon time.

Get your special offers, discounts, get in line,
join the parade of sheeple people, double time.

Starbucks, big bucks, big box, Nike whine,
Rump-a-ta, Rump-a-ta, spend that last dime.

There's plenty of credit card where that came from,
with fees, hidden charges, to hook you on the line.

Rump-a-ta, Rump-a-ta, start buying on time.
See all the sheeple wind twisting on the line.

See all the sheeple building by the sea,
keeping up with the Jones, is where they'll be.

Along came a hurricane swept them away,
along came a tsunami took them into next day.

Calling all sheeple to get in line to trump the cause,
Rump-a-ta, Rump-a-ta, online without a pause.

Rump-a-ta, Rump-a-ta, follow the voice,
a dictator singsong is the sheeple choice.

Rump-a-ta, Rump-a-ta, consumption R us,
we came to consume and will go without fuss.

An expose' of modern life for sure. When we fail to follow our own wisdom we always pay dearly for it.

Too many people don't use their own judgement when deciding things. Maybe it is " too hard" for them to use their brains, If they have any

I DON'T WANT TO TOUCH THIS WITH A TEN FOOT POLE
BUT THEN, WE KNOW WHO'S ABOUT 'PEOPLE' AND WHO'S ABOUT 'GAME GOAL'
I DON'T CARE ABOUT IMPERFECTIONS 'CAUSE WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE
BUT I WORRY ABOUT A PERSON WHO CONSUMES RACE AND RELIGION...FARE
THE BOTTOM LINE ABOUT TO THIS COMPETITION?
THE LEADER MUST REMEMBER THAT FOR THIS POSITION...
'WE' ARE & HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A MELTING-POT F-R-E-E...N-A-T-I-O-N!!!
NOT A STIGMATIZING, VENGEFUL...C-O-R-P-O-R-A-T-I-O-N!

THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

The masses seem to find solace in following the herd...
I have always liked to do the opposite...!
Always a black sheep..., in nobody's clique...Rump-a-Ta...

You make some good points about today's society; come to think of it further and sadly, I think it has always been thus. Love and peace,

Contrary to popular (read sheepular) belief, the 'voice of authority' always causes chaos ... I read a book once that said 'in the beginning was the Word' ... been chaotic ever since. Well done.

Sheeple, sheeple,

Giving to haves,

Excellent sarcasm.

Love the rump-a-ta, you've got the rhythm and rhyme on this one, with the insistent theme of foolishness and consumption. I'll add sheeple to my collection of new words. John
