On The Judas Sheep

In every abbatoir they have a judas sheep
For her right to life she must work to earn her keep
By leading her kindred up the slaughter ramp to their deaths every day
Unbeknown to herself them she does betray

For saving the slaughter house workers work effort and time
She will be alllowed to outlive her physical prime
Her ticket to life is she was born to lead
Of heroic sheep stories one never does read

The poor judas sheep she does not realize
That doing what comes natural to her to betrayal of her kindred gives rise
Her leadership role in life the only reason she remains alive
Whilst her followers not one of them ever survive

For our own gain us humans animals manipulate
The followers of the judas sheep end up on a dinner plate
For her natural leadership role a pardon from death she receive
But unbeknown to herself her own kind every day she deceive

Named after Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus centuries ago
But that the judas sheep is an innocent creature happens to be so
She is only doing to her what does come naturally
And of any sense of guilt she is one who is free.
