The Very Wall It Took Shelter And Died On 9/29/15
The moth flies towards the light
Seeking shelter from the monsters
But, as it soaks in the warm embrace
A door shuts, and the safety it felt shatters
But the light is still there
So the moth hovers around it's surface
It finally has a home for the night
No matter what it's instinct says
Just as it lands in the perfect spot
And tucks it's wings in to rest
The moth feels a sudden chill
The light vanished, leaving it in a mess
It climbs the walls and windows
Desperately searching for a way out
But it soon gives up hope of surviving
And asks itself what this was all about
Soon the family that lived there
Finds the moth next to the front door
And sticks it in a glass case
So they can admire it forevermore
Now, were the humans cruel
To bring about that fate?
Or was the moth just unlucky
Simply being in the wrong place?
