A Regular Sight Which Can Be Avoided

Two black cows
Majestic, well built
On their way home
From grazing
Unaccompanied
Stop by the wayside.

One stops by a dustbin
And peeps in
Sees a plastic bag
And pulls it out.
Shakes it
To get the contents out
When unsuccessful
Bites it whole
Plastic and all.

The other cow
Wades into slush
Sees a plastic bag
And pulls it out
Shakes it...

Two beautiful cows
Majestic, well built
Bear the consequences
Of man's carelessness
We save the aged bulls
By law
Yet sacrifice healthy cows
And other animals
Across the land
And water

To die of aches
And fits of pain
No plan
To ban
Use of plastics
While the gods
Of milk
And love (pets)
Succumb silently.
