Of Sheep and Shepherds
by R. de la Lanza
translated by James Goldberg
The good shepherd
knows his sheep,
and they know his voice
and follow it.
But there are flocks
in which the sheep,
their consciences dormant,
inebriated by liberty,
take themselves as shepherds.
There is no voice that these can hear,
and how much less could they follow.
