WALKABOUTSVERSE 95 OF 230

Poem 95 of 230:  A GOOD LIFE

For fauna,
    Home-flora.
Falconry -
    Starve or free?
Hatched-cocoons
    For silk looms.
Kosher and
    Halal banned.
Tag to track -
    With a hack?
Dogs for pets -
    No regrets.
And question
    Castration.

This does say
    Buddha’s way,
And Blake’s way:
    A good life -
For all life.
