With A Butterfly Poem by Narayanan Nair. P Perunthanam

WITH A BUTTERFLY
A butterfly stealthily took my fancy
With the morning Sun's golden rays.
In a Botanical garden we fluttered full
Visiting each fragrant flower colourful.
Oh, a bunch of flowers molested lay,
By horses of sway trotted, on the way.
Old petals lay scattered on fertile soil
New buds gleefully longed to unfurl.
Reckless children hurled sticks at figs
Of ripening seeds embroidered twigs.
Watchmen roared; to obey was serfdom
For children, disobedience; freedom.
All are bound by Dictates of the Almighty
However we here on the Earth be mighty.
