George Ojuku Momoh Poet Free verse

Mosquitoes From Different Nets

They survived their nets
After weeks of trials 
They overcame and left

Left to form an alliance 
Destroy, enjoy,save their skins
Just so could find revival 

All bunched in one room
Separate reptiles, different owners
Causing confusion, taking advantage of the lost ones

There are the judges 
Telling stories they never knew
After the wind,they order the moon never to move

Then the observers
Always observing
As the room moves to the left,they simply nod their heads
"Never concern me" 

Then are the readers
Always reading, never responding 
In their quiet corners,they gist
Never respond to meetings but always laughing 


Then the religious priests
Always conversing "Jesus loves you" "Assalamualaikum"
"We nor mixed pa una idleness"
But always giving them peace 

Should I say the victims 
Always guilty 
Guilty of the crimes levelled against them
Never innocent, never at peace 

All in one room
Fighting defeat
Mosquitoes from different nets

Always aching 
Aching for survival
All in one net
Some call it the sappier of happiness or should I say Whatsapp?

Sapping every single being
Every reptile with the same sting 
Every mosquito whether thick or thin 

Different nets
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram 
All in one room
Mosquitoes from different nets 

When will it end?
When shall you keep your heads low?
And return back to your nets!
Mosquitoes from different nets

Peace ???????

Team Poetrysoup July 10, 2026 at 3:23 PM George, it is so interesting how you turned social media into a buzzing room of mosquitoes, super vivid! That line about judges ordering the moon? Truly got me thinking. We liked the mix of humor and sharp truth!
