The alley cat
A stranger to all
Wants only to mind his business
When he walks the streets
All he searches for is his next meal
He feels a leg
And a child falls and cries
The mother takes her annoyance out
By kicking the animal
The stray cat
Is given no love
He can press his face
Against anyone he wants to
And still have no affection in return
Ere he knows
A man he follows
Begins to fight another about
Who is blind or idiotic
And then speak with their fists
The little cat
Fragile like glass
Has the world against him
He can act as he sees fit
But continues to seem to err
Someone shoves him onto the road
Only for him to survive
For the machine that could have taken him
Collided with another
The black cat
Was only misunderstood
I saw him ev'rytime I walked
To my favourite venue
Then I learned his one day at a shelter
Where he was killed without question
Shame on all of you
All he wanted
Was what we give each other
Good-bye, dear friend

Oh, where to begin...
I wrote this poem just this afternoon. I wanted to vent my sadness. I've been feeling down. I thought a black cat would be a perfect metaphor because of the outrage that people believe that even passing by a black cat is bad luck. Frankly, I had my share of misfortune. A black cat would, too, because they're lonely. My friendships don't seem to last. I'm not in touch with any friend I made in school. What stand out most, is my dear friend dearmisskitty. I know the world doesn't revolve around me, but I miss hearing from her. Her birthday is tomorrow (21 Sept) and it's been too long since we last interacted. I can't remember the last time she was online.
So, the narrative is purely fictional. I just made it up as I went along, sort of like most writers do. Also, the last two lines, is a reference to a song by Avril Lavigne. I couldn't resist putting it in.
