Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Spoil the Cat

I might be small, may have no voice
But that doesn’t mean that my life is your choice
Conceived, a babe, I’m not a sin
I’d show you myself but you can’t come in here

Now I love cats don’t get me wrong
But something just ain’t right here
Where a nation vows justice for all
Still we spare the child and spoil the cat

I’m not a life I heard them say 
But I had a heartbeat from the very first day
Deceived your mind, your mother knew
Just because nine people say it doesn’t mean that it’s true

Now I love cats don’t get me wrong
But something just ain’t right here
Where a nation vows justice for all
Still we spare the child and spoil the cat

So it’s privacy, a fundamental right?
Thank God Mary didn’t know that in Bethlehem that night
Believe the Word, it’ll save the day
Your son or your daughter wouldn’t want it this way

Now I love cats don’t get me wrong
But something just ain’t right here
Where a nation vows justice for all
Still we spare the child and spoil the cat
