Beautiful Caterpillar
Beautiful caterpillar came riding on its back
it emerged among innocent children
the excitement and the fun filled the village
as each children struggled to ride
All jumped on top of the pretty creature
singing and dancing as it drummed
but in the middle of the journey nightmare came
drama started to yield fruitful fear
The creature so beautiful changed without notice
it turned its thorn itchy back for seats
not one excited child kept the joy
the fingers were burned, body itched
but the beautiful caterpillar laughed
The foolishness of the blind had scored
doctors wondered about the foolishness
and the village went into somber moods
Yet the reality had happened in daylight
those that refused to reason got bitter share
