The Sacrficial Goat Meditates

ramzan time
imminent
death awaits
ruminating
her joys
her happy times
the goat mediates
bound to the butchers
blade is her karmic
fate when her time
comes she will go
she wont hesitate
she has one regret
she told me
in her goat language
the humans had been
kind to her from
the garbage dump
she ate what she ate
greediness
sloth hate
envy ungratefulness
was not part of
her trait
she still loved
the butcher
the butchers kids
such was her
blissful state
as she sat in the
auto rickshah
meter jammed
knowing well
in advance
she would be
deliciously
made into
mutton biryani
on another mans
dinner plate
her heaven
her hell
her paradise
did not exist
a kingdom
without gates
her body
her soul
for mans
spiritual welfare
to the greater glory
of god she donates
