The Greatest Defiance Poem by Rajesh Gurung

A fly
lifeless on the bathroom floor
zapped with an electric racket
what a sorry sight
a short life shortened
by man who take it as his right
to life
before any other being
a black spot on the spotless white
a movement, was it a wisp of air?
no, it stirs, it fights
not giving in to despair
A mere housefly
you would say, but what defiance
what will to survive
what great act by so tiny a creature
to send a giant of a DEATH
away from its door
