This is a metaphor. It speaks about the Innocent climber and the ever hungry caterpillar. Well the society is similar in many ways. How? Its your say.

METAPHOR – THE CATERPILLAR

METAPHOR – THE CATERPILLAR

The climber reaches for the PILLAR,

To have a bit of air that is very FRESH,

Alas, it is a CATERPILLAR,

That is ready to taste its tender FLESH…

    A new experience and a new beginning is healthy for all. Great poem.

    Nice one- sounds like someone on a career path to the top, where the air is much fresher, and devouring everything and everyone that gets in the way!
