Caught And Trapped By Two Legged Monsters

I was flittering around the forest

Searching for sunlight’s golden rays,

The trees, the forest trails, the vines

Are my magical safe haven, always.

***

Until one day it was no longer safe

As the forest was currently swarmed,

Large two legged cruel creatures

Along the forest trails they stormed.

***

I hide under the large leaves of a tree

Watching in fear, what do they want,

They poked and prodded the plants

Spying little beings that they taunt.

***

The leaf I was hiding safely under

Suddenly disappeared, oh dear no,

I was seen hovering in plain sight

They are not our friends, they’re foe.

***

A net scooped me up ungraciously

As I was toss into some clear vessel,

I could see the outside world, but

I couldn’t escape although I wrestled.

***

I’m shaken up and tossed around

As the monsters leave our home,

My loving forest quickly vanishing

I’m terrified, will I be free to roam?

***

They place my small clear vessel

I’ve learnt they call this a small jar,

It consists of a lid tightly screwed

To confine me, I am their new star.

***

I flap my tiny wings, hovering high

As all these large disgusting heads,

Peer in at me until I land and hide

They giggle while my fear spreads.

***

It seems I’m to live inside this jar

To be often prodded and displayed,

Never to see my home ever again

Heartbroken as I am dismayed.

***

This is to be my life, until I perish

They hope to study me for science,

I’m to be trained like a stupid lab rat

But they never banked on my defiance!
