Satisfaction Killed the Cats
Here is my first Steemit post!
A little poetry for you.
Matching my "curious.the.cat" vibe.
I hope you enjoy!
The poem is meant to be a bit dark.
It's a reflection of the
disappointment of today's youth.
It's also an interpretation of
the full quote "Curiosity killed
the cat, but satisfaction
brought it back."
Curious curiosity
It's good for the soul
Curious curiosity
Feel my mind go
Low long pauses
With dubious causes
Making the waiting
Seem never ending
Sun shine rays into darkness
Faithful illusions turn hopeless.
A dimly illuminated alley,
A faded musician in the gallery.
Her delicate blackened fingernails
Strumming a lonely acoustic,
Whispering 'who is it?'
Guitar strings vibrating
In the curious wind,
Whose melody they try to sing.
Dancing, searching,
Lingering freely.
Surrounded but lonely
With only a guitar's melody
Opening scars of delicately
Wrapped pasts.
Curiosity and dead cats.
Waiting for Satisfaction
To bring them back
.............INTERPRETATION..............
~ A reflection of the disappointment of today's youth.
You see, we [the youth] are young and vibrant and curious. But then our idealism fades and we find ourselves alone and dirty in an alley. The melody of our guitar is trying to hold onto the freedom and curiosity which we lost. At the end we are "waiting for satisfaction to bring us back," but people only know the first part of the quote: "Curiosity killed the cat."

Cat families usually play best in even numbers. Cats and kittens should be acquired in pairs whenever possible.
Grown cats have 30 teeth. Kittens have about 26 temporary teeth, which they lose when they are about 6 months old.
The little tufts of hair in a cat’s ear that help keep out dirt direct sounds into the ear, and insulate the ears are called “ear furnishings.”
Researchers believe the word “tabby” comes from Attabiyah, a neighborhood in Baghdad, Iraq. Tabbies got their name because their striped coats resembled the famous wavy patterns in the silk produced in this city.
A cat has approximately 60 to 80 million olfactory cells (a human has between 5 and 20 million).
A cat’s nose pad is ridged with a unique pattern, just like the fingerprint of a human.
A cat called Dusty has the known record for the most kittens. She had more than 420 kittens in her lifetime.
I liked your poem! You always surprise me with your poems inserting in myself this feelings. I think curiosity is part of our nature and we will always want to know even when is clear the answer will hurt. Our craving for knowing is very intense that we’re willing to injure urself to satisfy. We all are the curious cat.
Genial post, mucha suerte.
