A kind of evil bondage
an enslavement by the tail
ruffians are capturing
street cats
they will fail
forever through eternity
downtrodden and oppressed
utter subjugation
in hell the words are stressed
their violent pleas of mercy
ignored for evil reigns
an arena of deception
such wretchedness maintains
those cats representing
a visitation they
suffering such agony
all along the way
ill fated luckless stricken
felines in distress
bound with an accelerant
calamitous no less
wild fires leaping higher
screaming at the height
Italy is weeping
the country is alight.
