The Bovine Disposition

The Bovine Disposition

The bovine was designed by God

To be food for those that prey

That's why his eyes are on the side

So he can see all ways.

He tends to congregate in herds

And follows without thought

The flighty actions of the ones

Who dash in fits and starts

At any sound or movement

That catches their attention.

That's why they're easily gathered

Into pens where they are caught.

They blithely go about the day

Just eating grass or hay

Or lying about and chewing their cud

Content in every way.

They have no powers of reason

So it really makes no sense

To wonder what they're thinking

Because they really can't.

It reminds me of the people

Whose voting majority

Brought into power the leaders

Of the current Administration.

Neither realized that they

Both will soon fall prey

To the predators

Who herd and feed and keep them.
