ONE BUTTERFLY DIED
The quest was for you to find what you had lost
Instead you were arguing about the autumn frost
Remaining stood baffled underneath the stars
As the birds flew away when you remorse
Many stood on the soil you stand on now
I’m sure they felt exactly like you somehow
And yet you often drift into your cocoon
Wasn’t the idea to let your ego bloom?
Sufficient attention has been wasted on your thoughts
Efficient ideas never really swam across
And yet the talent is that you feel the same
The entire universe seems small again
Re-invent the memories which made you feel despair
Eradicate the theories which got lost in the way
Someday believe me you will come home
To everything you once owned, loved and outgrown
Looking out the window were your most important thoughts
It was how you felt about it and now how much it costs
It’s true that you are pretty and all that jazz
And need constant reassurance on established facts
Nothing really changed since the day you were born
Nothing will remain after you’re gone
Since you started this the show must go on
One butterfly died, dead thus so long.
