the stray black kitten


The stray black kitten
Across the street in neighbour's house
The loud meowing in late evening
Nobody took notice of it

It stayed around the Malay family
Inside the compound occasionally outside the gate
When the neighbour's son came in his motorcycle
The stray black kitten ran behind the gate

There was silent for a while
Then the meowing kept going
By night fall nobody could see it
The kitten was alone...

I saw the black mother cat yesterday
Sleeping in the neighbour's house across the street
Under the window enjoying her afternoon nap
There was no black kitten there

The stray kitten ran to my porch
Meowing loudly for all to hear
Gave the kitten some cat food
There was silent maybe gone away

The stray cats in the neighbourhood
Some people aren't responsible
Keeping cats without care
Leaving them running into stray
