Was I born only to give birth?
A life factory, is that my only worth?
No offspring needed now so you imprison me
In a cage not taller than two feet three.
Why are my brothers free to go to war
While my flesh’s not allowed to even get a scar?
Will I ever get to scratch an inn’cent tree?
Will I ever taste the flavor of feline liberty?
