That daft fly annihilated
By a deftly executed swat;
Deadly and final; material soul,
One short life to animate.
That daft fly temporarily
In temporal and spatial dimension
Supports a burgeoning pesticide
Business where real mortal men and women
With immortality within their sights
Live lives to live eternally.
That daft fly, no sense of “I”
No sense of “me” thus no suffering:
No family tie,
That daft fly.
