Rumi Quote: Women dominate men of intellect and possessors of hearts. But ignorant men dominate women, for they are shackled by an animal ferocity"

Concentration Cramp

"Not in Europe but L.A.
Angry, howling dogs
Smashing against cages
Bold, majestic cats
Cute, fluffy kittens
Orphans awaiting adoption

No Nazi uniforms around
But somebody makes choices
Picking which pets to kill
In the name of space

Their dreadful crime:
Learned their multiplication tables
Far too well"

Says an Anglo American writer
He's choked up with emotion
With evident love and care
Protesting against cruelty to pets
But what about human orphans

 and poor people instead?
