(Ode to a Cockroach)



I am a little thing,

I am dark and ugly;

I live in dirty mud,

Humans do not like me.



It was just last week when

I heard a young girl say,

"This tiny one scares me."

But God made me that way.



I am ugly and they,

Could have just hated me.

But am I so dirty,

That they are scared of me?



Am I pain or a sin?

A monster's invasion?

Or am I death? I am

Only a God's creation.



Why do I scare humans?

I'm a small fellow who

Cannot harm them at all,

Even if he wants to.



But then sometimes I think-

They are blind not to see

That I am beautiful-

For God has created me.
