Till The Wells Run Dry
Milk it. Milk that cow till the wells run dry
Even when it moos,don't stop
For the work of a cow e'ryone knows
Is to provide milk to the owner
Milk it.Milk that cows till it oozes blood
Let it not claim that it is tired
Who is the master of who,the cow or you?
Do anything but dont just stop milking
Milk. Milk that cows even when not fed
Even if it calls the cows' clan for a strike
Pull out your whip and whip all the cows
Lead it to the pen and capture the others
Milk. Milk that cow even when it is sick
A cow is not permitted to fall sick
Not by God or by the veterinary doctor
Even when sick do not consider that factor
Milk. Milk that cow even on its death bed
How will you survive without its milk?
Even when it cannot stand go with a cup
Milk and thank yourself for milking with a gulp
Milk. Milk that cow even when it is dead
Who said dead cows provide no milk?
Charge for its death certificate and its
Burial permit. And remember to milk it
Milk. Milk that cow even in its grave
Make sure you charge grave fee
For cows are not supposed to rest
But provide milk that is the best
Well done👏

DeleteUuuuuuuui I love how creative of a protest this is. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your insight🙂
DeleteEvery line I've read, I've thought of so many ways in wich this poem can be analogous. To me, it's deeper than just milking a cow! Well done, Mike! I love it!
