The sheep seeing the grass greener on the other side To venture there or to pass And they've no one to confide We should graze the pasture For the grass there is much less wear Should we still ponder I'm sure there's no danger there Says a sheep on their behalf They walk to the border the edge They peer over to the other half Uninformed without knowledge There's a keeper by a gilded gate Who says to the sheep on their behalf Tell them it's better than what they ate What are those, goat's grass? he chaff Still they're hesitant they're unsure Let's go says the sheep on their behalf The keeper opens the gate at his leisure One by one they cross to the other half The grass is indeed greener they learned The keeper quickly closes the gate and laugh An evil laugh that made them frightened They hurdle together in fear the keeper Peels his mask and a wolf reveals himself Their eyes wide open their teeth begin to clatter Why do you lead us to be slayed lead us astray They all turn to the sheep on their behalf Who've nothing to say but starts to pray None of the sheep can flee as one by one Eaten by the wolf including the sheep On their behalf. Once all of them are gone He goes back again to the gilded gate to keep.

The Sheep
The sheep seeing the grass greener on the other side To venture there or to pass And they've no one to confide We should graze the pasture For the grass there is much less wear Should we still ponder I'm sure there's no danger there Says a sheep on their behalf They walk to the border the edge They peer over to the other half Uninformed without knowledge There's a keeper by a gilded gate Who says to the sheep on their behalf Tell them it's better than what they ate What are those, goat's grass? he chaff Still they're hesitant they're unsure Let's go says the sheep on their behalf The keeper opens the gate at his leisure One by one they cross to the other half The grass is indeed greener they learned The keeper quickly closes the gate and laugh An evil laugh that made them frightened They hurdle together in fear the keeper Peels his mask and a wolf reveals himself Their eyes wide open their teeth begin to clatter Why do you lead us to be slayed lead us astray They all turn to the sheep on their behalf Who've nothing to say but starts to pray None of the sheep can flee as one by one Eaten by the wolf including the sheep On their behalf. Once all of them are gone He goes back again to the gilded gate to keep.
The moral of the story is be careful of someone or people who tells you the grass is greener on the other side. Least he or they might be an agent to human trafficking.
