THE CRY OF A MOSQUITO

A mosquito once cried 
Why do you all always 
Clap your hands 
Whenever you see any of us
Some of you buy chemicals 
To get rid of us
When you all know we're harmless and homeless.

An insecticide 
Screamed from a corner
You're big liar
You blood sucking vampires
Not just that
You also go around 
Spreading diseases; eg malaria.

A human replied
You're a pest 
Whoever you stick 
With your stylets 
Becomes sick
Whenever I'm about to sleep 
You always come
Disrupting my peace of mind
With your irrelevant songs 
Making a lot of noise while I try to sleep.
