what about my cat?

three beautiful little boys

brothers, with curly hair

dimples and an air

of care

                  free, three
                                                      beautiful little boys

their smiles brought about joy

                  pure and simple          
                                      each a symbol
of all things right
in the world,
                                      it was almost like
 their smiles eluded peace
I said 'where are you kids from?'
(perhaps somewhere in the middle east?)

they pointed upwards 'that estate' 

and also palestine

we're from palestine, 

said the eldest, 

                    he looked about nine

                                                palestine, 

I frowned

               and he looked down
his brother then said

they're blowing up home

boom boom boom!

              my cat got left behind

but we'll pick him up soon soon soon
my aunts looking after it

            but she's half blind

we're from palestine

and so is our cat

         they're blowing up home

                    they're blowing up home

boom boom boom

soon soon soon
we'll pick up our cat
(we'll pick up the pieces)

they ran off then

to play football

with the others

boom boom boom
                 ssshhhhhhhhhhh
soon soon soon
(we'll pick up the pieces)
