“THE CATERPILLAR AND THE BUTTERFLY”

There was an ugly caterpillar that was known as war

Endless misery consumed us until we settled the score

But we discovered that ugliness could be transformed into peace

It was a beautiful dream we captured upon the butterfly’s wings

The caterpillar brought catastrophe, the butterfly brought relief

We found that in making war that we only harbored grief

The enchanting butterfly delivered a happiness that knew no bounds

The caterpillar only unhappiness and discontentment to everyone around

Unnecessary heartache was what we found in war

An aching unimaginable, with nothing to strive for

Yet the rapturous wings of the butterfly delivered much content

A miracle to say the least, the butterfly a Godsend

Always keep in mind that the caterpillar is a disease

That only upon the wings of the butterfly will we obtain peace

The caterpillar spells nothing but hate and destruction

Upon the wings of the butterfly we will find salvation

Cast aside the evilness that the caterpillar brings

Love and true compassion can be found upon the butterfly’s wings

"SOME SAY"

Some say that life’s a bitch

Because they’re too skeptical to admit

That the good things in life don’t come easily

A fact that most know to be reality

Some say the world will never see harmony

That the ups and downs shouldn’t be

But in their hearts they know it’s untrue

That we reap what we sow in all that we do

Some say that life is sheer hell

Those that do don’t live it well

For beauty’s all around us when we open our eyes

For all to see, it remains undisguised

Some say there’s no way they want to go on

Yet know it’s a lie when all’s said and done

Those with undying faith see things another way

                                          And don’t give a damn as to what some may say
