The marked one,
You face death with equanimity
Your equanimity saddens me.
Poor beast, you will not know
the butcher’s knife awaits
your neck.
You are an animal.
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions,
You know in advance .
Yet, oblivious you remain
as the one you served a lifetime
is about to take your life.
Such is the mystery and pain of betrayal .
