An Insect's Query
'I laugh
I dance
I sing
the songs.
On the soft
green branch
I stand firmly
with four legs.
But an unanswered question is
in my head -
Who says -
I am just an insect?
See my hands are
in pose.
Wings are
half spreaded ofcourse.
My little mind is developing
a new life concept.
Who says -
I am just an insect?
Though, I know
my life is too short.
Yet, I'm filled it
with colourful art.
I live happily
without having any expect.
Who says -
I am just an insect?
I've captured
the flowing sands of time
& has mixed it with cement
for a perfect wine.
Wine which may give
a wonderful moment ceaseless.
Who says -
I am just an insect?
Sometimes I'm racing
with the waves
to search the destination
of my self respect.
My existence in this world isn't
by mistake.
Who says -
I am just an insect? '____Durgesh Verma
