The Black Plauge

• Artist: DerRotRitter
• Description: In the dark ages of Europe, a plauge swept through Germany, and other east-bound sections of Europe. Pretty much this poem is about said plauge. Hope you enjoy (yes I know the technical term for it is the "Bubonic plague" it was also called the black plague as well)

Smell the fire cooking skin
Wailing, moaning quite a din.

Bodies mounded in a pile
In your mouth arises bile.

Children crying for their mothers
Grown men sobbing over dead brothers

What’s the cause of this and that?
Well you see dear it was the rats!

You see witches symbols were now cats.
And people beat them with sticks and bats.

Wo unto the ignorant population
Sparing the cats could have saved the nation.

Carrying the poison were the pests
Saving the cats would have spared the rest.

Ignorant nation with such near-sight
Not killing cats could lessened the blight

Not dipping cats in boiling wax
Could have lessened the weight on your backs

Rats were the malevolent
Cats were the benevolent

It was also called the black death. She kinda put black death and bubonic plague together?


LAWLZ, I liked this a lot. I love cats... Didn't really know that they actually abused cats until now... Which is odd because I'm a huge history junkie.
THANK YOU FOR EDUCATING ME!!! :3
