The Bird or The Fly

Which am I –

The bird or the fly?

—

The bird

which flies

above so high

and further

beyond any understanding

to the undiscovered

parts of the world

through perils,

trials and tribulations,

snow and rain,

wind and sun,

it continues on

and is admired –

its purpose

never questioned

as it bounces

limb to limb,

flower to flower.

—

On the other hand –

—

The fly

which also flies

higher than most can reach

buzzes around

and in your ear

desperate to tell you

its annoying story

before fate's hand

should snuff it out

and the little fly

comes to an end,

it struggles on

and goes unnoticed –

its purpose

never seen

as it jumps

shoulder to shoulder,

window to window.

—

So the question remains:

—

The bird or the fly –

Which am I?
