i know you hate me
no, don't deny it
you do like everyone else
you hear my name
and your immediate thought is of disgust
my ancestors gave the plague
me? i do no such thing
yet you recoil at my snout and whiskers
why? you know not of my what i've done
why accuse me when you do not know me?
please, silence, and let me wallow in my trash
just leave me be
