Apology To Black Cats

I feel attracted to these social creatures, Which come in different names and features. Some like them and treat them really well, And show them so much love I cannot tell. They give them home,food and kindness. Some, alas, hate them with all madness. Not for anything but their blackness, Cats, we know, are all grey in the dark. Why be cruel only to cats which are black? I've seen kids kick black cats for fun. This racism tends to come from father to son. And seem very likely to go on and on. The world will rot and fester in sin, As cats are tortured for their skin.
