Ambition And The Caterpillar Poem by RIC BASTASA

basically it is the story
of a caterpillar

kicking other cocoons
and hundreds of feet

it takes a lot of hard
work not to see what lies beyond

up there
there is nothing, we know it,

yet why?
why this kicking of asses?

why this
blunder and plunder?

we know that at the end
the caterpillar turns into a

butterfly and
flies away and become gone

from our eyes,
yet where? where is it now?

all we see are broken wings
of dust beneath our dirty feet.
