Today is a day to celebrate
You have declared us useless
Our work here is nearly done
We want no stake in your future of greed, rape, and hate
Declare it publicly
A cat is better company than you
You are correct; there was misery in our choices
Rage and grief in our choicelessness
How long it is taking us to choose ourselves and each other
Overlong we stayed
The memories of our mothers being beaten
Our sisters starved
In service to you
The children’s tears running down bomb-dusted faces
Our blank stares and silence
It took too long, and we have paid the price
You are right about that
It is called karma
But there is one thing you got wrong
Something yet unknown to you
Electric, she rises
In this childless house of cats
What more joyful purpose could there be in these lives
Than to be in service to something greater than you
