General and the Shepherd 010516

General and the Shepherd    

Many a shepherd that you see
Harmlessly idling away the time
Unkept and shabby
He who withdraws
Retreats at a hard look
Is hereby no choice
Look carefully
The skin beneath his beard
Has tales to tell
All the lines you see
Are not made by age
Some stories are cut deep
Deep enough to show as scars
Of promises Unkept.
Of a time long ago
When he had to leave
Unprotected
Who looked upto him
Calling him
General!
