How Can You Kill Your Mother?

Hey readers!

I got this heart touching email and wanted to share this poem with all!

The cow’s our mother giving us milk

After first mother no longer can.

So how we can kill and eat her?

This I do not understand.

If your compassion I can somehow arouse,

I’ll convince you that we should not kill cows.

She gives us ice cream, yogurt and more

Without asking even for a penny.

So how we can then kill and eat her?

What an atrocious pity!

So if your compassion I can somehow arouse,

I’ll convince you that we should not kill cows.

The karma we get for eating a cow

Is to be killed and eaten too.

So to get ourselves free from being slaughtered

This is what we now have to do.

If your compassion I can somehow arouse,

I’ll convince you that we should not kill cows.

Yes, if your compassion I can somehow arouse,

I’ll convince you that we should not kill cows.
