O’ Mother, Cow
We call you by this name,
Respectfully
And we fight for your life
Yet we have no place to offer
Nor do we have means to make one
You sit peacefully on middle of the road
Risking your as well as passers bys' life.
Although,
We collect huge money
To take out wide processions
To write articulate banners
To call upon intellects
On television show for debate
Pay their to and fro charges
Arrange their stay in 5 stars
Offer them lavish dinner
Yet for you, O’ Mother
We throw only leftovers.
You are a gift by Almighty
To serve mankind
With Milk, Manure and Meat
But to us you are “Holy Mother”
Sitting and living on streets.
A compassionate poem, giving animals their due respect. Nicely written! Thanks, Mohammed
