An Insect's Query Poem by Durgesh Verma

'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
