I don’t need goats from your pens.Every animal in the forest already belongs to me. And so do the cattle on a thousand hills.I own every bird in the mountains. The insects in the fields belong to me.If I were hungry, I wouldn’t tell you. The world belongs to me. And so does everything in it.Do I eat the meat of bulls? Do I drink the blood of goats?
