Funeral held for cows reflects Chinese farmers’ woes

Starved and lowing
Your stolen milk left to sour, curdling in the heat.
The government took your grain, your water,
Leaving me with empty, trembling hands.
Haunted by your deep bellows,
Your resigned eyes.
I hung parchment prayers
Stark Chinese characters to guide your path,
Hired monks to chant for your souls,
To find a peaceful pasture.
