The monarchs gathered around

Leaving the caterpillar without a care

Although he would make the wailing sounds

For desires of comfort and acceptance

The monarchs would leave him bare

They had no shame so he kept forbearance

Hoping that someone or something won’t let him drown

And suffocate for affectionate air

But what is left may not be found

And there would be no use in his larynx

There will be nothing but cries without a sentence.
