Rather Lucky Indeed

The black cattle in the brown paddock out there
Of climate change and global warming are quite unaware
Since enough grass and water in life their only need
One can say that they are rather lucky indeed

To them the changing weather is not in any way strange
And they live free of worries of global warming or climate change
As calves they learn of survival as to adults they grow
But of a life that ends in death of they do not know

Yet that they too have feelings not beyond belief
The mother cow for her lost calf will cry out in grief
In Nature the bond between mother and offspring is strong
Those who will tell you different have got it all wrong

Most cattle are born to produce milk and meat
They are among the creatures us humans do eat
Yet this is a thing they do not realize
And death comes to them as a great shock and surprise

One can only feel envious of them in a way
As long as they have enough grass and water every day for them a good day
The cattle in the dry brown paddock out there
Few worries in common with us have to share.
