Materialism: the Most Dangerous Cat

"How scary!" the mousecub says of the rooster's face,

while it finds the cat's soft cuddly face "lovely."

Mother mouse scolds her cub, "don't be foolish,

it's the cat that's dangerous, the chicken is harmless.

The charming cat's face for us is so wicked

it means your death, you'd better learn that fast."

Even we clever humans, so talented and skillful,

fall straight into into our own demise shamelessly.

Our hearts inflamed, we worship materialism,

sinking the world in a deadly mire of blood-money.

That's above all else is the face of great danger

the wicked "cat" that tears humanity to shreds.
