conventions and comfort zones

I should think the old, roan bull,

roaming on his sunny hill,

content within the wired cage

that rounds him from a distant age;

apportioning the hay and cud...

 

Would he escape it, if he could?

I would say, should he stray away, he would be back for good hay and a lay
have a nice day

I should suspect as much, too. Now, how do you convince those heroic vegans who would have all the cows liberated ?

[Gee]

Hmmm the fear of the unknown would keep many penned into their own secure wee world, takes balls to dare, and usually old bully has the finest, low swinging pair....not that I'm looking, well, perhaps once
Hi Charlie, hope all is well in Oz

Hi Gee. Satellites are up. Hummers are at idle revs. Allies seemed pumped for a good game... All is well ! :)

Good imagery. A metaphor for a lot of us. I liked it.

[Phil Roberts]

I doubt if the bull would.....but I would :)

Does the cow know its fate too?? An excellent poem. If we are not following like sheep we are similar to cows minding our own business on our plot doing our thing.

Our thing...or Mr Farmer's thing...Or that Conditioned thing...any ole thing...

i doubt it...i love cows...and they are so peaceful and accepting...and i think they like the boundaries, and feel safe within them...

i think sometimes humans are much like that...some aren't prone too much to adventure outside their comfort zone...they are content to stay within the wired cage of what they know.
