A Cow
Gentler than any saint,
Walking with soft steps, Devoid of frustration, An ideal of patience,
Eyes with the depths of the cosmos,
Look into them and you are reminded
of your true self,
God was in a mood of calm compassion
when the Cow was created,
Understand her eyes,
even when she is suffering
there is no desire for harm in them,
There are animals,
There are humans worse than animals,
There are selfish, withered saints,
There are god-fearing men,
A Cow is above humans,
A Buddha by nature,
Healthy in the spirit even when
the body is spent,
A darling of the Gods,
who knows the language of love…
