A cow and calf out in the field
From its mother feeding
And she just stands there contented
The passing world not heeding
Humankind is just like nature
We are the very same
Its intelligent idiocity
That makes us have a sense of shame
Or embarrasment in a woman breastfeeding
Her baby, that in her womb did grow
How can we as a people be so stupid
To think that her feeding child she should not show?

On another plane, we are not the same
And to say we are is a sham...
While we may feed our young the same
A cow will nevver push a calf around in a pram!
