Of Flies And Man
By evcfenix
Of Flies And Man
The life of fly
Its faecal trajectory
Flights that no one
Could ever come to fancy.
Delirium in embracing
Every manner of
Solid existence
From heavenly delicacies
To the wounds of an army
To waste itself.
(Do your multiple eyes cry?)
What is your purpose
On this Earth
Repugnant fly?
A pest?
A disease carrier?
Or maybe something bigger
Than a buzz in our ear?
A hand in fates?
A life altering factor?
Butt of the joke
For other’s laughter?
Frantic waves across
The faces of Man
Futile.
Persistent
Little fly.
Your life for
Patience to triumph.

I don't think a fly's purpose is for "Patience to triumph" but interesting perspective nonetheless. I think it's to tip the balance. I mean if you have the pretty butterfly, you gotta have the ugly fly. Beauty is non existent without ugliness.

that is so true too. beautiful. and this makes me think of humans. if nature is the peaceful, productive aspect of life, then we are like you said before,, the destructive element.
