My newly gotten kitten,
was playing in the kitchen,
chasing a delectable treat
He pushed it around
on the cold-hard ground
as if it were live meat
Now that he's older
and learned cognitively
that treat is not what is seems
So now there's no push with a playful paw
No thrill, or excitement, or lifeless, I saw.
For there instead
in his bemused head
the thought his beliefs are a lie
So now he just eats it greedily
because it comes so easily
..this is our reality..
Imagination is a word
seldom ever heard
except to describe the child inside
That kitten, you see,
represents you and me
because we once had those ideas
Nothing is real, Nothing is fake
it's all from inside, it's all what you make
But our society has told us what is right and wrong
and we have believed it far too long
You must follow a one mind track thinking
instead of listening to your truth
Just like this kitten,
who played in the kitchen,
chasing a delectable treat
