Poem
Once upon a time, a possi or sparkle of beetles lived in an abandoned tract.  The group was cloistered for being so uncooperative with hardworking beetles and for being selfish.  There are adult male and female beetles that mated and lived with their young.  And for each day in one whole week that all the young are being fed, the young noticed that they are like outcasts and were never permitted to play with more beetles outside their territory.  From their parents, all the young learned that betrayal, lying, stealing and cheating are the basics of survival.

  One night, an explosion occured in their territory -- a human-made destruction.  Many beetles died and very few survived.  

  Two months later,  a new generation of beetles with enhanced pheromones originating from the very few old survivors was created.  This group of beetles was gifted with luciferin in their abdomens to spark a better lineage of beetles to enlighten the paths of the misled.  Wondering how the new breed of beetles transformed into luminous ones at night, all other beetles and insects are reminded that not all bigger insects and the like will remain or prevail as predators to smaller, weaker species.  

  One day, when this group of beetles multiplied and was discovered by humans, they were called "fireflies."

  Fireflies have emotions too, like humans.  Sixty-one days or equivalent to two months, all fireflies can live.  Not more than two months even ghost or purple flies can survive, to limit the extent of illumination on grasslands and running, moving waters anywhere close to human shelter.

  Fireflies are not pets.  They are helpful to crops and human survival.  They are not pests, but nest on high grasses to protect nature and preserve human interests on exploration.


Fireflies lit
In dark places of nit
Roving lightworkers
Each night on bleak shelters
Full of life
Life in you that spark
In your mind, body and soul
Every breath of life
Soothes and sparkle in the dark
