Who Answers a Cow?

A cow asks the sun,
“Why are you so bright?”
Waiting for the morning,
The sun shines.

The cow asks the wind,
“Are you now free?”
Ignoring and blowing,
The wind turns breezy.

The cow asks a stone
“Why are you so cold?”
Staring at the cow,
The stone is left alone.

The cow asks a diamond,
“What makes you treasure?”
Laughing out loud,
The diamond thanks pressure.

The cow asks a bird,
“How can you touch the sky?”
Flapping its wings,
The bird flies high.

The cow asks a dog,
“How can you be their buddy?”
Wagging its tails,
The dog barks happily.

The cow asks a farmer,
“When will I be slaughtered?”
Counting days left,
The farmer answers, “Tomorrow, daydreamer.”
