Bounded or Not?
/Do bounded folks cherish life?
Ensnared by the duties,
they rush hither and thither.
Some depart from a place
as if they are forced to;
some rush for a destination
as if they are bound to;
only half completing their meal,
even not sleeping well,
even not informing the family.
An unbounded cow cherishes
each moment of life.
Neither is she obliged to leave a place
nor reach a destination.
She grazes when hungry,
sleeps when sleepy,
rests underneath a showy tree
because she is not influenced
by the utilitarian motif.
