I Am the Caterpillar of the World
I am caterpillar of the world
fat, jittery, itchy and feared
I have eaten all green leaves
crops, grass, foliage I chew
Wasteland weeps behind me
people curse wherever I go
but they have no business
interfering with my dining gardens
Things they claim are theirs
the rain my loyal servant
tells me it is still held up
beyond the skies
This makes me extra happy
let the deaf world shudder
Let the caterpillar be great
whether hated or loved I am
