“Mosquitos”

 
“Mosquitos”

Often thought of just one word
simple and clear to tell the truth
able to describe the whole
while understanding the waste
diseases and corruptions about;
 
Used to think it might be sharks
but most too sanguine to be
other’s way too passive found
most feel they’re choleric always
many the people think abusive;
 
Thus a word might be piranha
but then again not taught to all
yet a feeding frenzy visualized
unstated and uncaring of fodder
leaving only scraps for others;
 
 Maybe one could use donkeys
but a party already uses this
and too many really are ass’s
stubborn needing to be prodded
found making an obscene sound;
 
Then again maybe elephants
 again a party taking this one
engorging themselves on pelf
massive without any real purpose
trumpeting their acute abuses;
 
While many see them as snakes
verminous and crawling about
striking out as perceived danger
unknowing who we might be
as they beguile MSM as lovely;
 
Hmmm… mice, hamsters, rats
each of these have a nice ring
rounding around in the night
spreading diseases and spite
leading us to the scarps of life;
 
Describing but still not accurate
these predators and disposals
obstinate and overwhelming
striking and causing death
none of these to be the word;
 
A light goes on with full insight
mosquitoes has to be the one
blood sucking and in swarms
attacking any sign of flesh
leaving itching and suffering;
 
Coming in over 3500 species
 most harmful animals on earth*
leaving nothing to the imagination
vectors of ill-will and zoonosis
yes politicians equal mosquitoes!
