Lions & Cows ~
Koan ~ 6 [ Haiku Type ] 
Posted by Narayanan Raghunathan Tue, Aug 5th 2008, 06:01 :: English

If the lions start
eating grass what will
the cows eat ?

The grateful angelic deer,
spared of their hunted fate,
will share their promised
bounties of heavenly delights ~
moist honey-sweet grasses ~
fruity rainbows etched
on nectarine flesh ~
refreshing streams of cool flame,
edible dreams, in sparkling
torrents of milky bliss ~

hidden in the secret meadows
beyond the snow-capped peaks
enveloped in silver mist
through a maze of floral paths ~

The divine Herder of beings,
He who speaks all their
silent tongues of fire ~
The Cows The Deer The Lions ~
Trotting on two sandaled feet
He will lead them there
before the Last Dawn ~

Dear Narayanan, it may be more efficient from the economic point of view - according to some. People (and lions!!!) being vegetarian may be less resource-consuming than feeding grains to animals and then eating the animals! Have not done this calculation myself though
