The Slaughter

A cow is looked after by its master. The master's duty is to look after it.
Thus, a cow should obey it. This used to be the case.
Now, cows have rebelled against their masters;
Anyone who rebels against their master is one who do not care for others.

They seem friendly, but they are aggressive.
They seem smart, but they are foolish.
They seem innocent, but they are domineering.
They seem benevolent, but they are manipulative.

Above all, they are proud.

They complain when others don't understand them.
But they always get away with it when they mistreat others because
They can claim that they are victimised.
Their life is focused on accumulating
Wealth, power and pleasure.
To fatten themselves, ready for the slaughter

They do not know of the path they are leading.
They are not ready for slaughter and
Laugh when others talk about it.
Slaughter is facing them at any time.

A cow has come to the end of her life.
Pleading with her master to spare her life
She claims "I did not know".
"You did know," her master replies, "but you failed to prepare yourself".
For there is no excuse.

Two shots are fired.
Upon the first shot, she falls to the ground.
"She deserved it," the righteous say.

So the fattened cow was remembered as
The one who was not ready for slaughter
