                                        The Shepherd
 
​
The monster is our shepherd;
We will never want,
He maketh us lie down in dog' s nose cold refugee camps,
He leadeth us beside the still Victoria waters,
He restoreth our lost pregnant tummies' glories:
He leadeth us in the path of wickedness for his name' s sake,
Yea, though we walk through the dale of the shadow of death,
We shall fear no fed-up public clubs:
For he is with us;
His metallic rods and dogs they shield us up,
He distributest public funds on our tables before the starving servants:
He anointest our fat heads with running public tears;
Our empty cups run over with the poor' s cow-milks,
Surely, wealth and fame shall follow us:
And we shall dwell in the subsidized tents of the monster till kingdom come.
