Poems by Matthias Pantaleon : 2 / 83
A JUST LIVING
A fellow who must lead
A just and fair life
Must learn to live like butterflies
They do not get caught up
With dragon flies
Or stuck up in wild flower yard
But sensibly tasting;
And offering what they could afford
Without the bitter feeling
Of not being stronger than birds
Nor wild like bees
But at ease living life
Like the world is within the flaps
Of their wings!
