Scent of Straw from the Temple

The cows refused to bow to our God.
They slept through the sermons and rites,
Wanted only to get away.
And this wounded us
More than we ever let on,
That they couldn't understand
How important they were to us,
As if their lives were meaningless.
But, in fact, it was they
Who never lost faith in their God,
Who in the end turned out to be stronger
Than our own.
