Rat Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Rat

Her name is Russian but
-her colour and blood
-come from Africa.

She behaves as slave;
-is puppet of celebs!

Tania opens door
-filling gap in frame
-half inside, half as guard
-fighting cat: "Go inside! "

The master of the house
-is blaming poor pet:
- (She was bad, disobeyed
-when allowed to go walk
-in, around the backyard!)

"She hunted a rat and…"
-keeps going Tania:
- "…and brought it alive
-and I am afraid of…
-don't like that! "

Selfishly limited in brain
-speaks the city girl
-as if is the wisest.

The fact is forgotten
-of the life and nature
-of "cats are carnivores,
-liking rats and the mice
-as well as fish…must hunt."

Ignorant Tania
-is one more citizen
-like many presidents
-and the rest in power
- (Holding the positions
-and seats in offices
-handling our leashes!)
