The Butterfly's Wings

by Tine   Nov 18, 2006


The butterfly's wings are broken
and now she cannot fly anymore
in the sun she lies all day
crying, stuck in a random bore

she's so pale without the colour
that used to surround her head
she sees this world all black
and still she hasn't moved yet

I wonder whether she's still breathing
she lies so quiet and tiny upon the ground
Would she know that I am watching
I haven't yet made any sound

I wanted to help her really bad
and started searching for her wins
I found so so many
everything but those two things

So I sat down with her
to support her, to say
some words that might've helped her
Alas she passed away...

This poem is methaphoric for the way things are going with nature right now - we don't do anything, we just say things we COULD do. That doesn't work. Wake The World Up People!
