UNLOVED

Poor kitten with no hands to build
Scared little thing in the winds
Hungry little thing facing the storms
What will you do if it rains?

II
The trees are protecting birds
The caves are protecting lions
Holes are protecting rats and snakes
Oh, anthills protect even ants and others
Where do you belong poor cat?

III
Aren’t you afraid branches might get your breath?
Aren’t you afraid caves can break your bones?
Aren’t you scared of your shadow turning against you?
Poor, poor cat!
I feel you
I feel your loneliness
I feel your fears
How could I not when mouths who try to help need your meat?
How can I not when I see me as you?
I know you know me
Because like you, I feel unloved

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)
