Cry Of A Black Kitten Poem by PREMKUMAR C N
Cry Of A Black Kitten
I am a black kitten
My brothers are white
We were born in a pet shop.
Pet lovers bought
All my brothers
Because they are white.
Black cats are for witches,
Said a lady to her son,
Who wanted me as his pet
Black Cats are bad luck,
Bad omen and misfortune
Said someone looking at me.
If you take me as your pet
I will love you till my death
I told them in silence.
My fur is black
But my heart is gold
No one listened to me
At last the pet shop owner
Abandoned me in the streets
Some threw stones at me
Since I am black
And a bad omen
I am a black kitten
Born in a world
Full of superstition,
Racism, inequalities
And colour discrimination.
Our cultures are depicted on superstitions and it's difficult to break the shackles of age old beliefs. Very sensitive poem.
Great poem with good analogies. Black cats are probably stronger as a result.
