The Words I Herd
'M not here to impress
Giving poetic address
Its just about stress
Words still meaningless
Truth is always stiff
Its words are brief
They cause pain and grief.
With no buts, and no ifs
Weigh what you say
For you will have to pay
Truth is not a play
With honesty start your day
Dont build on false pretence
Give your self a human sense
Your ego is the worst instance
I dont befriend chameleons
Even if a poetic reptilian
Or pockets stuffed with billions
I am a natural shepherd
The truthful words i herd
They graze on real world
And give genuine milk not curd

Last verse could be a portrayal of David, the shepherd boy who became King and is said to have written much of the Psalms, some borne out by his life experiences.
