Its just a Bug
abhishek muthurajan
It was
not a bold butterfly

not a dashing dragonfly it was just... a bug.

just like others it did fly

and thought the others were a bit too shy.
It smelt things

felt things.
ate things

It was a curious little bug.

one thing it was proud of
was it had a JOB.

A job to eat rotten apples under the tree.

Nobody wanted it but the bug did.

It cleaned up the mess,

a life full of toil.

The mess which turned into a rich healthy soil.

Just when the bug decided to take a break
It didn’t realise that

it was more than just a break.
