Title:
AN ODE TO THE COW: a sonnet
AN ODE TO THE COW: a sonnet
You silent creature sent by god on earth
To feed your milk to man in his childhood,
And thereby give him nature’s joy and mirth,
Denied to him by drying motherhood!
O cow, you feed the child of him who kills
You for he finds that your flesh is tasty.
Through you his stomach throughout life he fills,
And subjects you to cruelty nasty!
O dumb beast, you are so non-violent
That to harm you is sin against the God.
To kill one who is so benevolent,
Is truly on mother nature a fraud.
Why can’t man let other animals live?
Why can’t he to animals his love give?
