What is the overall message of this poem?
The Fly by William Blake Little Fly, Thy summer's play My thoughtless hand Has brushed away. Am not I A fly like thee? Or art not thou A man like me? For I dance And drink & sing, Till some blind hand Shall brush my wing. If thought is life And strength & breath And the want Of thought is death; Then am I A happy fly, If I live, Or if I die.

The correct answer is B. The message of the poem is that every creature on earth is at the mercy of some higher being.

In this poem, the speaker brushes away a fly that was living happily. The speaker wonders if he too is like a fly and might be brushed away by some higher power. The poem compares the life (and death) of a fly to the life and death of a human -- both flies and people are influenced by forces they neither see nor comprehend.
