i was about 12 years old playing on the play equipment, at the local park which was very quite, and peaceful. i had the whole playground to myself while my mum walked the dog around the opposite oval. a group of 3 young adults appeared, and there you were. so innocent, so helpless and cute. a black and white kitten who could harldy be more than 12-14 weeks old. They shook you, and kicked you, and beat you, as you meowed from your paper bag, they poored a liquid on you and pulled out that lighter, and i saw the flame, i head your pain, your cry, your howl for help that never came, i stood there frozen, they stood there laughing. they left, and i ran from to the drinking fountain to put small amounts of water on you, the flames got less, i opend the bag..you were a mess...i have a laps of time,... but i remember shortly coming back to that park to that spot. why hadnt you been burried? why hadnt you been given a feunral. It was my fault you died little kitten, so i picked you up, but you still had blood,it stained my hands red and bugs crawled up my arms, and you fell to peices...i moved wat was left of ur body away from the path.... but it wasnt a feunral or a burriel....or a goodbye..... so hear is my best, here is my all, this is my goodbye to you little kitten, and an awakening to all those out there that things like this can and do happen.









I look into your eyes for those few seconds and see the escencee of
all innosencee. it made me cry not becuase i knew your fate, or
becuase of the ugliness of humanity, but becuase of the purity that
shone from within those eyes, for as we all know, our eyes are the
windows to our soul. if i should have looked upon your eyes properly
when you had moved on, i should imagine those lifeless eyes would
have mirrored the coldness and emptyness found there.
I'll miss you little kitten, i miss you every day, i miss you when i see
my cat, or when im asked, if im ok, this is my final farwell, my way to
show respect, for what you have imparted, that will never change
the fact, i was lucky to have met you, little kitten.
