DESOLE, FIREFLY
I killed you...the other time in my room.
I was a child; I was lied to.
A beautiful creature with sheer innocence
How did the myth emerge?

Now we've missed your charm
At night
Mixed with the dew
Beauty to behold...

Return oh Firefly...and your siblings
I've just realised...
You're a sign of hope
And not an agent of evil
We were lied to

The pseudo seers saw all others
terrifying us
Stench of gullibility
They played a game
with our exorberances and youthfulness
How gullible!

Will you come back fireflies?
I'll be glad if you do...
Bring back that innocence
And beauty
And nature!!!

I wait you dear selfless fireflies!
