Sincerely, A Butterfly

A maggot can change, but no more than a fly Starts off in its filth and takes it to the sky Can’t wish to be the caterpillar, that’s naturally pretty Evolving into the butterfly, a thing of pure beauty Surrounding yourself with these beautiful things Only to devour upon their wings I can tell you now “I see what you are” Just a creature that’s made it, oh so far Feed on what’s given until none is to give Keep on consuming until I can’t live Have you turned your wants into needs, out of curiosity? Or do you destroy what’s great out of greed and voracity? A truth or lie is what I ask today… “Why attempt to take what makes me away?” Tell the lie from a mind so hallow Let it be filled with infinite sorrow But truth be said from your soul’s expense You’ll be glad that you had one bit of sense One of two options, you know what to do Speak out of pity, or the right one for you For a fly that’s still lost at it’s nearest end Should expect no less when born again… And when your true shall show My wings will finally grow…. Good-bye fly. Sincerely, A Butterfly
