Are we better off consumed by a cow?

Questions from the overlooked

By Rowan Finley Published 3 years ago • 1 min read

Heart reflection,

on lethargic water.

We've been here before.

You've said that before.

I've responded again...

God's fingerprint on all of creation.

Why are His creatures in agitation?

"We're tired of the growing pains,"

say the blades of grass.

"We slice at the breeze all day,

with nothing to show for our fight.

How can this be alright?

Could we ever know in the end?

Will we wither in the sun's judgement?

Are not our hours and days numbered?

Now, we're unencumbered,

but what good does it do?

Are we better off consumed by a cow?

To our purpose, we must bow."
