We Are Not Cows To Be Slaughtered

One cow is equal to one soul; One soul is equal to one cow We are all cows walking on the street, All souls are cows the Namas said! Kill one cow they will kill two souls, Our grasses their cows graze on fearlessly. Fearlessly they took our wells in their hand Leaving our rivers bleeding helplessly here. We are not Cows to be slaughered here, We have our rights in this Egg-ful world. See us not as a funeral cow who must take, Obey any blow that comes to its body lines. Until we confiscate the cargo ships That cart away their senses to the saharas They will still see us as cows they can whip And kill and no one would ask them why or how. When will we stop rubbing the lazy palms Honourably in the Mother land that kills us? Have they ever see us with grasses in our mouth? Have they ever see us defecating in an open place? We don't have four legs, horns, tail and big mouth! Stop the act and see us not as once a brethren Trying to steal some sinful glances at your Tomatoes, groundnuts, wheat, and cucumber! We are not cows to be slaughtered at will! I know there has been a great deal said, I know of a great deal of hope written But let it also be told to them that we are not cows. ----Another Voice Stronger (C) John Chizoba Vincent Voice Of Vincent 2016
