Crackers

I saw someone fleeing, it was a cat,

I lit one cracker and left it at that.

I asked myself, “How insensitive?”

It’s in the same planet-that we all live.

With an intellect to think, I probe, “am I right?”

To mute neighbours I bring, terror and fright,

Festivals, celebrations, are to bind people together,

And this moment I change-so my friends don’t suffer.

Brighten your place, cut down the noise,

T o some it causes pain—we do have a choice!!!
