Little fly

Little fly

You are a little fly, but your impact is great.

You are so little, yet man has nothing to offer you but hate.

You are little fly, but you have enormous belief in yourself.

You are so little fly, yet you endure gener ations.

You are little fly, but men will spend a fortune to cut you to size.

You are so little a fly, yet you can confidently take on a prey a million times your size.

You are so daring, always ignoring men's fright.

You are a little fly, but you remain indestructible.

You are a little fly, but you so deadly, destroying your prey with passion.

For the wrongdoing of a few among you, men hate you with passion.

You care less; even a hyena something smalls a goat.

When she would eat her child to show she's gullible.

You are so little, yet men cannot handle you.

They'll rather ignore leprosy chasing after the ringworm; they are brutes!

'Tis motion without movement; they are never ready to tackle problems from roots.

Yet, cleanliness isn't only next to godliness, but also the guarantor of healthy life.

Verily, verily, if they keep their environment clean, then you will go into extinction.

Verily, verily, if they keep their environment clean , then malaria fever and other diseases caused by thee and thine friend will go into extinction.

    I like how you’ve put down your explanation of the poem FR, and it’s definitely a major problem that the world still hasn’t been able to tackle well!
