Shepherd


I live on a road of destruction, I travel my path of solitude with an ambition to continue

onward and be a light to others on this path, I am not a destroyer I am a teacher, and a healer

I do not play the games of demons they play mine and fall victim to my bluff.

I speak the language of the hammered truth, I can do more by working at the source of the wound, I am strong,and the darkness will not reach me, I am but a beacon for the lost to follow.

I will not paint a tainted picture of lies and mislead the wanderers who follow this light for I speak the truth, this road is one of destruction,but I hold the map to the path of redemption.

though it will never be easy, I tell you now it is possible to rise up higher and raise your status In this life and escape from this road of destruction and create yourself a greater world for your flock to follow.
