My sheep's clothing is natural!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
I am humble and meek
And I don't know what more they seek
They say I am a wild jackal
And that my sheep's clothing is fake
I bleat my way through life quietly
Stepping lightly and avoiding others' toes
But they claim it's a predator's stealthy move
Ready to pounce and maul the innocent prey
I follow the wisdom of the herd...literally
Doing my bits to keep the boat afloat
But they say I am a camouflaged beast
And that my intent's to kill
I am not very smart, I confess
And my thoughts are a bit slow
But they claim it's a feint
To lure in the unsuspecting
I am a sheep!
I solemnly swear I am!
I am as dumb as they come,
And my sheep's clothing is natural!
