A Cat And Rat Game Poem by M D Dinesh Nair
A Cat And Rat Game
In the world of many beautiful living beings we like to live
Observing the sky and looking curiously at the rare visitors
A squirrel, a sparrow, a parrot and a dragon fly.
All of a sudden we can see a rat that runs for its life
As a cat is after it chasing without a stopping for a breath and
We call it a game though it is a battle for a life and making a living.
Before our eyes the rat appears to flee for ever
And the cat retreats and settles with a small reptile at times.
We may give a sigh of relief though the poor reptile is gone!
A question has to haunt us often as why we still have a cat
That will one day surely kill these rats plenty
And where shall we hide our minds akin to aliens disfigured?
'A question has to haunt us often as why we still have a cat'. Very well written with a really thought provoking query at the end. Liked it.
i only have four minutes to comment! i thought most people would like to see a cat catch a rat. i would like to see all creatures eat cereal instead. but then how would the rat population be controlled? ? ? you lost me on the last line, dinesh. other than that i enjoyed the poem. thanks for sharing. :) bri

The cat and the rat symbolically represent the predators and the prey! ! It is unfortunate that some are ever hunted and some thrive and fatten on others' blood and sweat! Who can reverse their fate? How we wish there is a reversal of roles at least occasionally! A powerful write as ever! !
