The Butterfly

As a butterfly I remain the same ,
Though the ants want to put me into shame,
Truth ,justice and honesty I proclaim ,
So that the poor can build up a good frame,
I pollinate flowers to boost my fame 
which makes many good farmers to exclaim,
To have a bumper harvest was their aim ,
And the sky added success to this claim ,
Doing the task of nature is no game ,
At last, the evil ones went as they came ,
Eating up seeds and fruits ,makes many lame ,
With my wings ,I look better than a dame 
with a nice name ,that can’t go up in flame .
