Humans are Not Butterflies
The elegant and graceful butterfly
So quaint and exquisite
So... bilaterally symmetrical
Humans are bilaterally symmetrical too
But humans are not butterflies
Maybe it is the eyebrow that is just a bit more arched than the other
Maybe one arm is longer than the other
Or maybe it's the ever-so larger nostril
The universe is full of flaws
But we are too busy to see the beauty in blemishes
Because we are too occupied hiding our own
Perhaps it is in our nature
To be selfish and self-absorbed
The most desirable traits are the ones that involve selflessness
Much like the traits of a pollinating butterfly
But humans are not butterflies
Butterflies taste with their feet
Never tasting pizza in their short lived life
At no time did they get to relish in the beauty of their flawless wings
Because ultraviolet colors do not capture their real charm
Not to mention they are only symmetrically perfect one way
Humans are not butterflies
Our individual eyes are blind to these flawed creatures
What's so great about a bug anyway?
If they're imperfect too,
You might as well be able to enjoy the taste of pizza
