MY   PUSSY
       
      
        I'm not a religious racist: 
        My god is grey, white, brown and black. 
        I'm not a familiar sexist: 
        My god is a female, unlike me. 
        I'm not a sort of speciesist: 
        My goddess is a cat, 
        Uncreated in my own image. 
      
        A cat can't even speak, you say? 
        Maybe, my cat doesn't speak your way, 
        But does the god of man's Pentacle 
        Converse with you in nature's voice? 
        Animals aren't meant to communicate, 
        Perhaps, in the words of haughty humans 
        Unwilling to broaden their horizons. 
      
        A cat can't be omniscient, you say? 
        Maybe, my cat isn't omniscient your way, 
        But does the god of man's Cross 
        Know everything under nature's sun? 
        Where science and reason don't count, 
        Omniscience is a haven for the naive 
        Hallowing their common ignorance. 
      
        A cat can't be omnipotent, you say? 
        Maybe, my cat isn't omnipotent your way, 
        But does the god of man's Crescent 
        Have full power over nature's events? 
        While strength may be needed as a tool, 
        Omnipotence is the creed of creatures 
        Confusing physical means and final ends. 
      
        What cat is as beneficent and virtuous 
        As a god ought to be, you say? 
        Maybe, my cat isn't so beneficent, virtuous, 
        As a goddess ought to be, and stay. 
        But what god, man or woman, is? 
        My cat never wills those who don't love her 
        To burn in a lake of fire and brimstone, or 
        To be caught and slain before her very eyes. 
        At least my cat is that good a living being! 
      
        So, i say unto you, 
        If gods exist, then there is no god, 
        And only one goddess: 
        She's a multicolored female feline -- 
        Myy diviine puussy.
