Insects

INSECTS

Inside and outside
And in every corner in the household
And other hold bars
Everywhere lurk, 
Are somewhat invincible.

These annoying and threatening insects
Cockcroaches, mosquitoes, bugs, dust mites, flies etc.
Your peace and quiet love nests
Are distracted and maligned
As their bites, stings and nuances
Are itchy, sometimes killing you softly
Leaving you alone with uncertainty.

But your strong willed alertness
Can stop and ward them off
As your self-reliance is lethal
No matter how buzzing and intrepid
Your technical, scientific and  mindful know-how applied
Electric gadgets, door and window screens
Fans, nets, lotions and other repellent.

In like manners life's negatives
Like tantrums, indecision, fear, immoral and social menace
Must be thwarted and get rid off
Seek out friends and love ones
Don't be shy, be open, speak out and share!
