The Sacred Cow

The world's crime rate, ideological rivalries, and arms race Can all, probably, best be explained As nothing more than psychological labor pains. Over three hundred years the world has been accepting, Or resisting acceptance of, a new value system. The family as we know it will be ripped apart, The birth of individuality will give us a new start. Lets build the world again, Where blood is not thick but thin, No nations, no factions, no rivalries, Every person a separate entity Knowing what has to be done, Doing what's best for everyone. The age of the authoritarian family structure, Where the father was the ruler and the master, Torture or punishment of every poor soul suppressed laughter, Penance for bad deeds undone was the road to the hereafter, Gave way to an enlightened age guided by reason With new developments in science, math, and medicine. Next will come a higher source of understanding, this source can best be identified as feelings. There will be a time we will all, necessarily, Think it is beneath our dignity To make love without having offspring. Our satisfactions will be fulfilled By something deeper than a thrill. At the same thime we will feel free To hug, kiss, and touch intimately With whomever we find good company, Always knowing we aren't anybody's property. Whenever we all carry inside the means To govern ourselves and execute moral restraint The face of the world will dramatically change. For jails, prisons, even police there will be little need. There will be a shift in the manufacturing pool From implements of destruction to life giving tools. The media will change from mass entertaining us To people interrelating on a global basis. A new emphasis in education Will be from comercial to moral inspiration. Lets build the world again, Where blood is not thick but thin, No nations, no factions, no rivalries, Every person a separate entity Knowing what has to be done, Doing what's best for everyone. I think you know by now, What I'm talking about is the sacred cow. It'll be ruin or exaltation, We achieve universal or spiritual freedom, Or we will be reduced to a gang of heathens. Human emotions of vanity, greed, and envy Will someday soon, I still believe, Be overwhelmed by those higher passions Of respect, mercy, and compassion. May a world of unhappiness and discontentment Give way to a people with a Life commitment.
