Chained Animals

A majestic beast, so wild and free Tamed and held in captivity Chained and bound, no longer wild The beast's spirit, so broken and mild. The beast is forced to toil and serve The master's will, it can't observe. Its dreams and hopes, all put to rest Its voice, unheard, its soul, oppressed. A herd of sheep, obedient and meek Their spirit broken, their will, weak. Led through the darkness, their future bleak Their dreams and hopes, no longer speak. Though hope is lost, the spirit remains The beast and the sheep shall sustain. Though it has taken away their will Their courage and pride will never be still.
