Slaves to Superstition ************************

By MR feathered fox

...An Eye foreign Eye

Makes the world go blind

.......Check the Dollar $ighn

Paying attention doesn't cost a thing......

You know who we are


People's are scared of us
When they cross our paths
They turn the other way
In fear of our hues


But our ancestors
where worshipped
Amongst Egyptians
As gods



They fear the mystery
In our eyes
The grace in our stride


Most of our Conrad's are in cages
The verdict death by injections,
They just wanted to live" &" Let"B"
(9 lives)
And all they wanted for every 1 was!!!!
just to live and let" ..benign lives....


......unlucky us....

The street life hasn't always been easy
But who are we to complain & be heard"
Besides We manage to land on our feet
All though lingering Stereotypes
Forever violate our skin like flea's
It's hard being a (Black)-(cat)



Ap(paw)led fist
In a cold world
Express we're
purrrrourd of what we are .....why they remain slaves....... To their Superstitions...... ************************************************************** Dedicated to black cats in concrete jungles who endure the struggles of black panthers
