The Butterfly and the Hornet

The Butterfly and the Hornet

A Poem by Ujjal Mandal
"

A man has no end of his thought and desires. All desires are not fulfilled. They may cause harm to others. But a man, out of his gratitude rushes to fulfil his desires and kills or misshapes the beaut

"
A beautiful butterfly was sleeping on a rose bed after taking honey,
That time a black hornet was passing by. 
To be greedy for something good is the nature of living beings- 
The hornet wished to have the rose bed 
So he could not resist himself  and
At last he stung the red rose. 
Immediately all the roses became black coal. 
After a while the butterfly woke up from her deep slumber 
And discovered herself on a rose full of poison. 
Seeing him, the butterfly cursed him and yelled out: 
‘‘The flower bed is only for butterflies not for hornets;
Flower is beauty, beauty flower’’.
