Just a Cat on the Street

I watch you, everyday

Passing by me with the bags

I watch you every night

Coming back home, tired

Did you ever notice my presence?

Did you think of what I feel?

So why not just stop for a minute

And think about me for a while

I’m just a cat on the street

Seasons come and go

Flowers bloom and wilt

Leaves grow and fall

You man, wear and change

But it’s only my bare fur

What I cannot change

I’m just a cat on the street

My neighbors sleep till noon

On fluffy huge beds

Neither they eat the same

Nor they wear the same

But it’s only me

Eating from the bins

And sleeping on the paves

I’m just a cat on the street

You’ll poke me if you have the mood

You’ll ignore me the next day

And you’ll punch me out someday

But it’s just only me

Who never keep the hatred

And try to join you in play

I’m just a cat on the street

I’m not like a dog

Not greedy for meat

I’ll love you from my heart

Can you just be sweet

So I can be your friend

But you never hear me

Neither you wanna feel me

I’m just a poor cat on the street

Oh You, my sweet Home!

The busy world never amuse me

Neither it’s more peaceful than you

You never suffocate me in fumes

You never let me be a stranger

Oh you my sweet home!

I’ll never betray you!

You never shine with neon, but

You shine with harmony

You illuminate peace and

You reflect real nature

Oh! You my sweet Home!

I’ll never betray you

You never taught me cruelty

You never confused me with humans and animals

You never let the beggar sit there

You never refuge his nights on the streets

Oh! You my sweet Home!

You will never betray me!

Your sky is blue

Your air is scented

Your birds sing lovelier

Your streets are safer

Oh! You my sweet Home

I’ll never ever feel better than yours!

I’m tired of hastening

I’m not for here

I’m always your member

You hold my identity

Oh! You my sweet Home

I’ll always come back to you!

Do you remember?

Do you remember?

When your mom informed you of your school

When friends talked about it

When you watched the big boys going there

While you had been dreaming of it

Do you remember?

Do you remember?

Your dad brought your first set of books

You saw it as a big surprise

You were just impatient to write on them

Do you remember?

Do you remember?

When your bag was presented to you

When no other friend has of that type

But you thought it was out of fashion

Do you remember?

When you were gonna be unique

Do you remember?

When your Mom bathed you

When she fits you on the white shirt

A black short and a black shoe

When your face was with full of white powder

Do you remember?

Do you remember?

When your G.Ma guide you there

Where you have been wondering about

When you line up with them

When you sang with your little voice
Anxious about what’s gonna be next

Do you remember?

Do you remember?

When you wonder about the boy next

When you wonder about the man with mustache

When you wonder why you were taken there to

Do you remember?

So now you should remember!

Wherever you are or whatever you are

Those memories are the tiny beginning of your life

They have their share in your life

Do you remember? Yeah you should!

Childhood

New dawn has broken

Shone up the beaches

Little boys up on the feet

Calling all their peers

To gather for the joy

Some with sleepy eyes

Muttering with the flies

Sandals being forgotten

Run to their peers

To make their day of joy

No one is left

All pass through the mist

Through leaves; full of dew

To a beach; lit with red hue

For another awaiting joy

Sing with the rising sun

Dance with the waves

Hop with the breeze

Making shadows on the horizon

Sharing the joy with the nature

The Bad (Old Regime)

Oh you my peers

You are not betrayed

Good has been hiding

As you have confused it with bad

After you have named it with “the bad”

Open your eyes

Handle all the keys

Of your homes

To look for the good

When you have covered it with “the bad”

Wake up from the dreams

Hesitate not to heal yourselves

Better dust off your minds

When “the bad” has been nesting in your minds

You’ve been seeing Mirage

You’ve been locked in a carriage

You can make a hole, just at least

And let the wind of changes come in

Cos you’ve been locked in “the bad”

You’ve been steered to wrong

By a captain named wrong

You’ve been just saved

When you were almost dead

But you are still singing songs of “the bad”

Did anyone warn of you?

Till the man from your own blood

Was thrown and dragged

In the battle of saving you from “the bad”
