The Path of the Righteous Man is beset on all sides
by the inequities of the Selfish
and the Tyranny of Evil Men.
Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will
shepherds the Weak through the Valley of Darkness,
for he is truly his Brother's keeper,
and the finder of lost Children.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger,
those who attempt to poison and destroy my Brothers!
And you will know my name is the Lord
when I lay my vengeance upon thee!

"I've been sayin' that **** for years, and if you heard it, that meant yo' ***
I never gave much thought to what it meant, I just thought it was some cold blooded **** to say to a ************ before I popped a cap in his ***
but I saw some **** this morning that made me think twice.
See, now I'm thinking:
Maybe it means you're the Evil Man, and I'm the Righteous Man, and mister 9mm here, he's the Shepard protecting my righteous *** in the valley of Darkness.
Or, it could mean that you're the Righteous Man, and I'm the Shepard, and it's the World that's evil and selfish.. and I like that, but that **** ain't the Truth.
Truth is:
You're the Weak,
and I am the Tyranny of Evil Men.
But I'm trying, Ringo, I'm trying real hard
to be the Shepard.
Go."
