Suffering and Smiling:Who Will Bell The Cat?

Suffering and Smiling: Who Will Bell The Cat? 

Once upon a time in the land of the rats 

There lived a notorious and nefarious cat

Notorious for  his daily feasting on innocent and helpless rats

The cat is sure of at least five rats per day to wine on

The rats are grumbling

Humming and murmuring

Their population is dwindling.

Orphans are increasing day by day

All rats with rattled out desire.

Each rat looking unto heaven for saviour

Who will chain the cat? 

The Big rats call for a family meeting

All rats sat and talked. 

Finally, the way out came out. 

To tie a bell around the cat

Will be  a way out. 

All rats shouted for joy. 

Eureka!!! 

Everyone was happy and no one was proud.

While doing this, the little Socratic rat kept mute

Thinking inwardly like the people of Athens

Finally, when all was calm like the sea

The little rat spoke like an elderly man giving advice. 

He said who will bell the cat?

Who will go for us to put a bell on the neck of the cat? 

Who shall we send?

Who will go for us?

All the rats died in their euphoria.

Solution is here

Looking at us

Looking at them

Helplessly staring at us

Helplessly staring at them

Who will bell the cat? 

The rats are asking one another

They are never tired of asking

Who will bell the cat? 

The notorious cat keeps on feasting on them

While the rats family keep on dying now and then

They are awaiting for saviour

Are you willing? 

Will you go for them?

The rats are suffering and smiling

Suffering and smiling

No one wants to die

Who will bell the cat?
