I'M a Timid Butterfly
Joji Varghese Kuncheria
I'm a Timid Butterfly
Like a butterfly I roam around,
In this beautiful garden of life,
Not knowing the evil it hides,
Just enjoying nature at its best.
As I grow I become so fearful
Of this beautiful garden I live in,
My freedom becomes limited,
I learn the many vices of men.
From the child I have grown up into,
From a loving and innocent child
To a timid and fearful little one,
To face the world as it unfolds.
The world has become abusive
To children in ways that are evil,
That even little girls are not safe,
So rampant is child abuse now.
I am no longer a wandering butterfly,
Free as before as a child I was,
I now look in horror at this world
Pagan and decayed to the core.
