1 Why capitalize Mother & not father? oh, you ARE a woman! ! stanza 4, i understand your use of " How" , but i bet a lot will not. Perhaps add " ! " at end of that sentence also. And i'd match " injured ones" to " their (not its) sufferings" . And adjust wording of last line of stanza 4 accordingly. :) last stanza: " cared for" , OR put comma after " cared" start last line with More

(2) 'The Story Of A Red May Beetle' reveals the stark contrast and oddity of human nature. Thanks, Geeta ji, for giving a human touch to this amazing poem. I would like to quote The injured little red beetle... The beetles cared and protected each other, One thing was certain! They are not like some human beings (but are more) compassionate.. faithful and reliable than the human beings!

Human beings are believed to be intellectually far superior than other living beings including insects and animals but the narrative about the meticulous work undertaken to rescue an injured beetle by other members of its own community tells us an altogether different story.

They will never let their young ones suffer. This is the specialty of God's creation. Animals and insects are more reliable than human beings. Insects also have hearts! This poem is very nicely penned! ..10
