Sheep
The Nonsense Mantras of Our Times
What's the world like?
A flock of sheep.
One falls into the ditch,
the rest jump in.
- Kabir (Sakhi: 240, The Bijak of Kabir, trans. Linda Hess and Shukdev Singh)
"On TV screens across the globe, for more than two months now, the sheep have been jumping into the ditch without a bleat of protest."
