One feels like he needs a copy of Who's Who to read this. The shepherd (presumably Christ) is in the hands of those He protects. I presume you mean the churches or some other follower who has betrayed Him. This works OK, but by S3 I'm totally confused. His wallet is a feed satchel? Whose wallet - the lamb's? the shepherd's?I hope I'm not too dense, but a lot of fine ideas seem interspersed with excessively enigmatic symbols. Hence, I have mixed feelings about this.
My favorite parts were the "power lines" part, though again, it's unclear what "crooks" of the original allusion (the manger scene) were replaced. Perhaps it would have been better to have alluded to the soldiers of Herod or of Rome. The final two lines are both good in themselves, and excellent to end on, lingering in our minds, and leaving us contemplative.
