As Free As a Bell Collard Cat

As Free As a Bell Collared Cat

 

They lie lazily in the bright sun shine,

Never fearing for the inevitable.

Existential dread is not their design.

If nonchalance was inheritable,

 

I shall always wish for their cognizance,

To be free as the wind, just as they are.

I do not wish to feel this dissonance.

Can I be happy when freedoms so far?

 

Why can I not just see things through cats eyes?

To stare at the birds soaring in the heavens

And to feel the breeze like a fancy prize.

If I didn’t have to learn any lessons,

 

Could I feel the freedom like harmony?

Maybe then I could have autonomy?
