You can fly

You are butter fly
So you can fly
We are human being
We only keep on trying

You have sense to find out honey
We are hungry but only after money
You store for future and bees
We not only take fruits but steal complete tree

See the ants
What do they want?
What do we need?
More and more as greed

See the river water
They flow and cater
All needs and provide
Unite all but never divide

Birds sing in time
We praise sometimes
If that serves the purpose
We keep silence and only suppose

We take no clue
Neglect and refuse to view
We are adamant and irresponsible
Want everything but without struggle

Ants store for future use
We waste it and vehemently refuse
Cut the wood and barren the forest
How can anything then be called best?

Let us not cry later
Still we can make it better
We should miss nothing in anticipation
Let us build future with active participation

* Childish attempt *
