Ahimsa

In unity should life be spent Brotherly, sober, benevolent Making live let live the testament Remaining ever non-violent! The lesson above is mine hard learned Cats in my house their ahimsa be darned Not exert once in hunting prey Let roach and mouse grow by each day! They have too keen a poetic sense Don’t maul the mice suffer them pains Believe in peaceful coexistence Keep from the prey a safe distance! Mice no more in fear run by For with such cats no chance to die They look thankful with cats so good Making our home a friendly neighborhood! I find it a wonder it baffles me How cats find mice cute friendly Shun bloodshed make idle claw Keep blissfully wrong side of law!
