Title: The Sweetest Insect

In the garden as I ponder
I saw insects that wander
Fly from flower to flower
Hop the leaves and under

Then I begin to wonder which among is sweet
Is it the QUEEN BEE along with its fleet?
Is it the industrious and with its platoon?
or the "Caterpie" within the cocoon?

The queen bee mandates its fleet
To make royal jelly and the eternal sweet
But does it make them sweet at all?
When its men after the sweet, they fall?

Is it the royal ants then?
of which nature's and man's sweet they have stolen?
Does it make them sweet when they are easily blown?
And in a pool of sweet they drown?

Aye! these two royalties are no sweet!
For they only know what's "outside" sweet
They smell but they don't see beauty
Not like the sweetest insect I know which flies freely

It has gay colors and knows which is beauty
By flying to-and-fro crowns of royalty
It digs for inner radiance
As it sips the sweet all at once

It is the sweetest I have seen
For beauty it sees from within
"Catterpie" into a "Butterfree"
That's why it's "butterflies on our tummy"
