The Cow Story

by Joshua Knudsen - Leo

Walking through the village
brown waves of golden wheat-colored farm houses
yes, scarlet blood flowers
and cows without powers
stuck while mended to a fence
robbed of the white nutrition inside
while the farmer takes it and hides
oh blessed milk cow
yes oh glorious one
without you breakfast would not be so fun
underappreciated like the bee and worm
just used, then eaten like a canniblistic tour
what more pain can you take
why don't you rebel
take care of your children, let the humans go to hell
but I reckon it's your lot in life
you have more roles than one
yes a jack of many trades
your used for fertilizer too
what other degrading things do people do
to you? Oh wondrous cow of glory
I'll sit down and you tell your side of the story

Reason for writing:

    I have worked around cows a lot and I've always wondered what are they thinking about.
