A Butterfly Poem by alina khan

I love to fly in the cool breeze at early mornings
and explore the world with my so called mates
it's a pleasure to see the flower's bloom
and hunting for a new treasure everyday

to cross the heavenly green land
and pass by the sight of the high waves
and how every time my journey expands
what else there awaits...

i spread my little wings to show how beautiful and unique god has made us
and what beauty it has given in our hands
but how these hasty tall creatures to catch us every time
and who is there to defend?

i had always lived my life my myself
but now i belong to someone, they own me
and i have got something to tell

no one told me to be aware
since i was born, there was no one to care
and now feel the pain i have to bare

i request god to give me a chance
to warn all my family and friends

to be cautious around these foes
what are they here for?

i did not live to tell about my suffering life
and how young and terribly i died
but only one can live such a desperate life
only a BUTTERFLY...
