A cow was tied to a peg <br />But allowed to go on its legs. <br />Its rope moved in cycle. <br />It grazed inside this circle, <br /> <br />More grass was available, <br />Beyond this limited circle, <br />But the rope in motion <br />Laid the line of its action. <br /> <br />In the place of this cow, <br />One’s life also fits in how? <br />Life is tethered to an object <br />That controls the subject. <br /> <br />How many have the courage, <br />Or, more strength at any age, <br />To break this stale bondage <br />That shackles at every stage? <br /> <br />An opportunity comes once <br />In one’s life, by chance. <br />If it’s missed by an error, <br />Then, it’s lost forever.<br /><br />Rajaram Ramachandran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-cow-tells-its-story/
