INSECTS ARE PESTS

We see them all as pests to be destroyed. For they feed upon our food crops galore. And invade all our homes by the score. They bite and sting and this we can’t avoid So poisonous chemicals must be employed. Daily we spray these insects more and more As our inventive ways come to the fore To make their reproduction then fall void. But we are focussing on self-interests Thinking that we now can control nature. We will rid our world of these wretched pests. With clever chemicals we’ll be master. And soon bring an end to all those insects As we are in command of Earth's future.

I enjoyed the read Tony. I've said it before on this platform when commenting on someone else's poem but we humans need nature more than nature needs us. All the best for the New Year. Cheers - Gary
