A little insect <br />That creeps and crawls desperately... <br />Misled by mirages, <br />Overwhelmed by transitory happiness, <br />Ignorant of the reality... <br />That is hardly unravelled. <br /> <br />This insect is a little different.. <br />It has emotions, sentiments, <br />Ego, meagre intellect <br />And, what we call, human feelings. <br /> <br />This insect calls itself supreme, <br />Beware that it, too, is subject to the eternal laws <br />Of space and time, death and decay! <br />A moment is enough <br />To separate it from worldly possessions <br />And all mundane attachments... <br /> <br />Hmmhh! Infact, this insect is foolish... <br />The little insect of human life!<br /><br />Debasish Mishra<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-insect/
