Bombyx mori larva,
Weaves shiny fibril,
As safety shield;
The mulberry moth,
wraps itself,
in fibre protein mask;
Feels safe in cocoon,
Thinks no one can trace,
Yet is vulnerable;
doesn't realize,
the protective shield,
is its weakness;
The human two legs animals,
Can hunt you for its greed;
The luxury instinct,
Gave it the name,
Silk luxury filament;
To adorn the beauty,
Of beautiful love;
To adorn her beauty,
They can boil you alive,
Extract your shiny fibril;
Don't trust humans,
They are greedy,
Live for show off
And not for life;
