 </div><p></p>I saw the cat sitting next to the grocery shop!<br>
Stationed strategically to suit attention of passersby.<br>
A cat once well fed, begging and crying for a ‘raindrop’,<br>
Appealing to the ‘humanity of mankind’, but no one, dear, sees her cry.
<p>I saw as her oval shaped mouth back the tail,<br>
And the tears beautifying the pupil through her lower chin,<br>
I saw the bulky blue eyes turned red pale,<br>
I saw the cat’s head bruised from ‘turns of lashing’</p>
<p>And when I have reached my pocket,<br>
Where is this cat to be found?<br>
Inhumanity and shame will never let it wait one moment,<br>
Oh no!only I saw the cat, so I groped all around.</p>
<p>I spot the cat as it crawled over the 3rd Bay wall,<br>
Weary, tired, homesick for the home she’s never had,<br>
Inhumanity and shame would not even let it hearken to my call,<br>
I saw pool of blood as the ‘rain drops’ from my eyes</p>
