The Fly: by William Black

The poem talks about that a human being  goes to end and how  a small experience can change the entire thought process of human being .It is also all about finding meaning from the smallest of the act this poem reflect excatlly that.
Starting with the first stanza the poet takes us too a very simple happening about the fly while the fly is busy playing all of sudden .The hands of human being kills it. This shows that we as human have become  extremely selfish as we believe that we are only ones who have live to life in this world.as soon as the  poem enters  the second Stan  the human suddenly threw changes in thought process. He is not happy with what he has done and as a result starts comparing himself with the fly by saying that both of them are near mortals.
Moving forward to the third stanza the comparison goes further the poet makes us aware about how he also like fly as he dancing, sings, and drinks without thinking about the future but at the end  of this stanza he says that one day even I would be killed by God's hand.the fourth stanza talks about the thought of life and death and  argues further that we as humans belives that our life of a fly.as we think that only we are capable of judging  the meaning of life.
In last  stanza  poet transforms  himself into a fly in his thought process. And starts believing that one should be living as freely and  happily as a fly. Without thinking too much about future and the ultimate reality of death.
