I did not kill that cat
I am very sure of that.
It was dead on my arrival.
My seeing it there
caused me despair
but did not terminate its survival.

It's the things that don't exist
but still persist
by which our lives are most affected.
So let's not be found not looking around
at the phenomenal field.
Real world.
Objective world.

That cat got himself killed you see
without any help nor hindrance from me.
He should have stayed off the highway.
Maybe fleeing one terror
he made this unperceived error
but still it wasn't done my way.

It is not the known danger
but rather the stranger
that is apt to be our undoing.
O worry and despair
of the things we're aware
won't change the fate we're pursuing.

For it's the thing we don't know
That will cause us to go
to our death prematurely.
So let's not be blind, but look out behind
and perhaps we can assess
things more surely.
