A Tribute To Mosquitoes

Kudos to the great blood-sucking mosquitoes.
They feast upon our blood as if we are tortillas or burritos.
They take advantage of their miniature size.
They bite us and take off, having claimed their prize. 
Their buzzing sound is a nuisance to our ears. 
They keep hovering around us, adding to our fears. 
They are the carriers of deadly diseases.
Coming into contact with them increases,
The chance of falling sick and lying in bed. 
We might recover or end up being dead.
This tiny creature seldom cares for death. 
It continues tormenting us until it's last breath.
