The Cat

A butterfly dances through sweet summer blooms,

The sunlight shines through the clouds,

That drift like ships in the sky,

And rabbits and hares bound through the grass,

As the busy bee zips by.

A fluffy cat her fur so soft naps in the shade,

The gentle fronds of soft green grass,

Wave in the scented breeze,

The city rumbles far away where humans live like ants,

Scurrying through their twisting streets, 

Smog clouds loom above.

Song birds are nesting in the trees,

Their song wakes the cat,

But does she care?

She does not,

She has no worries no stress or woe,

Hunger, war and illness are of no concern,

She just yawns and returns to sleep,

The life of a cat is so calm and so pure,

The life of a human so chaotic and wild,

Which would you prefer?
