Wow.. this is just wickedly sweet! It brings to mind images of the Government (the shepards) controlling the consumers (their sheep) with product; tecnology, fashion, etc. A system that dictates everything through the veil of freedom by telling you what to buy (cell phones, software, games, accessories) so the right people make the money.
It's really intense. Even if you did not mean it that way. Excellent written form as well. Your stanzas share equal time, making their importance equal. That word at the bottom, Shuurinakisame. Is this phonectic Japanese? What does it mean?
