The Butterfly

Did the butterfly really know,

That its wings had beautiful designs,

Apparently there are scientist,

Who study them alll the time.

Did the butterfly really know,

That it inspired poets,

Apparently there are musicals,

Now performed as ballets.

But the butterfly is unaware,

Of all these things,

It just goes about its day,

The way the wind swings.

Then why is it that we humans,

Need all kinds of reassurance,

Why can't we make a difference,

In simple butterfly fashion?
