Blood Suckers

I swat mosquitoes smash flies -- not because I hate them just what they do the pernicious nature of their existence assisting their evolution helping them to come back as a higher life form… same tough love applied to terrorist, hoping they come back as a higher life form -- two thousand years of turning the other cheek has redly taught us the spiritual law of Concentrical Circles... So called Good men and women squeamishly refusing to rid the world of blood suckers….

my front plate says...life is a miracle deserving an attitude of gratitude....my back plate license holder says...I Brake for Serial Killers...that is a constant reminder for me of those who make excuses, and apologize when like Jonah they need to get a spine and call evil, evil..Jonah teaches us it is wrong to hold your tongue when others' lives are in danger..get a spine and get back to the work God wants of you..and i could care less if they don't get it..because my daily job needs a reminder

Thank you, Tim; for being a Stand-Up-American, and a Stand-Up-Man. We need only know two names, Good and Evil. I cannot help those who don't know the difference...it is beyond my expertise. Blessings my friend.

Sad what is happening in the world at this time. We need a national day of prayer to ring heavens' bells for those countries at war and maybe put a stop to the slaughter. Thanks for sharing this one and for dropping by my page. Sara K

Hi Sara; thank you for commenting. It would need be an International Day of Prayer...and, who knows? Not easy to reach and reason with the heart and soul of evil. Blessings my friend.

Terrorists are savages...defined by their behavior. Some opinions are made easy for us. Blessings my friend.

A very good poem. The itch is nothing. Mosquitoes kill more people in the world than any other animal. What is not highly noted early on, bevomes a great danger later

Exactly! There is no appeasing, no compromising with evil -- evil always wanting more. Appeasement Politics has gotten us maniacs for school teachers, politicians, judges and physicians who mutilate children. Without core principals, that we all can agree upon, without a moral line that cannot be crossed, eventually follows deterioration of the human conscience and soul. In short, we become less human and behave more like animals. Should we compromise with pedophiles, murderers, God make deals with The Devil? Man may not always behave saintly...but let us not always behave like complete fools thus demons.

The mosquitoes here in Texas are huge blood suckers. We can turn our cheek, but they find us even in the dead of night. Clever and nicely done, Joe. Enjoy your evening, Sara

I hate mosquitoes especially. I'm always trying yo spray them out of existence. They bite, leaving red painful marks. The only solution is to rub the bites with lemon. Blessings

That would be illegal and immoral. I find rubbing alcohol works well. Blessings my friend.

It has to be a slice of lemon. Victor

Good advice, Victor; lots of lemons in our present administration. Conservatives tried warning the population last election but to no avail -- this is the bitter history of the US.
