Do people change

Do people change?

Like the Butterfly that emerges from its silken coat

Its eyes are open to the new world it sees

In the first few hours it feasts upon flowers

Rose petals and Buddleia flowers of fairy rings

Then starts the battles, with the wasps and busy bees

Along come the humans, with hands of strong powers

Weary, she lets the sun soothe her tattered wings.

Cautiously she views the world with opened eyes

No longer carefree, she now must survive.

For her days are numbered, precious and few,

For to lay her eggs she must keep alive.
