      THE FLIES

Into a honeycomb full of delicious honey
two thousand flies arrived
and because of their sweet-tooth they died
with their feet imprisoned in it.
Another one, into a cake
buried in its sweets.

In the same way, if you examine
human hearts
they die in the prisons
of the vices that control them.
