Forget Me Not

My name is Kensington, you know, the cat who was a victim of how out of control and cruel this world is.

I'm the life that for enduring minutes that were endless was beyond words pain can say.

Why but we know why another being can make one suffer. It's all connected to so much hatred and a world without love, whose pain was worse.

So much anger, yes some beings felt for me, right through their souls tears to fill the loss of love.

My story has been twisted some kinda game where's respect for life, we all are precious.

How I begged to have them end my life, please, quick, yet no, this horror lingered on. I just hope that what I went through will have closure, a turn for change.

Too much sadness, we're all crying in the reality that life on earth is. Each has done our share and all will pay our dues. Acknowledgement and admittance can begin now.

The Creator gave life to all, no one is to decide who's more valuable than another. Our souls and flesh are the same. I'm a cat that felt like you, a human would, so why label me meaningless. Do you know what the hell they did to me? How can you compare pain? Compassion has to replace selfishness, if we're to survive.

I was named Kensington, cause you see there are those that thought I was worth more than life itself. Bless them, now I'm crying.

My name was Kensington and I will live on and on eternally, yeah they promised I will not be forgotten and I believe it. A world of humans care. When you hear my name don't turn and walk away, look at me. I was a life like you, entitled to live as much as you.

Please pause for a minute and make yourself a better human being. We're all animals on earth so why am I so different? Please, oh please, I had so much pain, don't just let it end this way. I ask you to unite in a kingdom of all rights to all life.

Start by entering my name Kensington and sealing it with love.

Forget me not.
