Butterfly Poem by RIC BASTASA

Butterfly



everything is interrelated
nothing is
compartmentalized

thus
when the butterfly in China dies
the bear in Russia also suffers

when the monkey in the Philippines
falls short of the banana
the anaconda of Brazil becomes sterile

when the tiger of Africa kills
the parrot in Paraguay feels

everything is interrelated
nothing is a stone
no one is a creek
we are all one river.
