Aurochs
Aurochs


No rock or creature dare exist
that does not worship Man
All must be conquered,
vanquished from the Earth.
mountains climbed
and swamps fill in
rivers tamed
and oceans dammed
mastodons mastered,
sloths slaughtered
and like the Aurochs
in its regal black coat
that would not take to yoke,
eliminated from his memories.
Than what of God?
No creature dare exist
that does not worship Man.

aurochs: the European bison (Bison bonasus), once
widely distributed, but now nearly extinct, except
where protected in the Lithuanian forests, and perhaps
in the Caucasus.
