Beetles and bugs
Why do people kill,
The bugs that they see as,
“Ugly’, when they
Don’t kill the Butterflies
That crawl onto their skin?
It doesn’t make sense to me,
That we kill spiders,
When they are what kill
Mosiqtos,
Who by the way,
Kill more humans per year
Then spiders do.
They squash the millipedes,
Who decompose most of
Our environment.
Or swat the bumblebees,
That keep the forest,
Alive.
I hope that one day,
We’ll all look at the beetles and bugs,
See them as beautiful,
And walk away,
Instead of ruining,
Another important life.
