Strange Feelings (The Cat Who Went to Heaven)

Good Fortune

He drew a buffalo, he drew a cow

And to the buffalo they all bow,
He drew many animals except me
I’m so furious I just can’t let it be

I’m not hungry I’m not sad
I don’t know these feelings I’ve never had
My stomach says eat more
My heart says no more

Everytime my master finishes painting something
I look at the painting and all the colors sing

I waited for a day and the day after that
And I thought to myself he wouldn’t draw me, a cat
I waited and waited long enough
But I can’t hold on, it’s getting tough
I’ll hold on for a hero that could change his mind
But I am really in a moral bind.
by Ayusha Satyal

Environment Day

Once a beautiful land,
Now it’s dirty and dead,
Worked at the hands of man,
Resources pulled from their beds,

Flood, Drought, Famine, Fire,

All the landfills get higher and higher,
Toxins, rubbish, metal, food,
Do you think we’re doing good?

Do not Pollute Water and Air

Don’t Throw garbage here and there
Do not cut trees never and ever
Search for a solution stop pollution

Say no to plastic
Protest Plastic.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
