Mutant Butterfly
Vigilance of the wise man
A pristine awareness, untainted
By the sludge of superfluous knowledge
When ignorance speaks the tongue of bliss
Where fools rush in
Through judgmental trap doors, incarcerating the mind
To a colossal web of deceit
Die-hard disciples of caustic lies
Barcoding humanity with collective tags
Flung open by the arms of transparency
Shattering the sanity and sanctity
Of a God bestowed temple of an indispensable privacy
A human right shining forth the individualism of one, our genetic integrity
Nurtured by mother earth and by the unconditional love of foster parents
To spawn inimitable man, to soar to unforeseen heights
With her own god-given plumage, an immaculate birth rite
A legacy bred by the fore-fathers, as toil was shed on the soils of the earth
To pave foot paths of prosperity
Yet, superfluous transparency prospers in the hands of renegade souls
Playing god to innocent yet suspecting creatures,
To fling open cocoons of privacy, to gaze at the flutter of a mutant butterfly
Flying away to her noose of destiny
