Hail Mosquito Kingdom
Hail Mosquito Kingdom
I was summoned
By the chief of the human beings
For a peace talk with them
For they felt that
We are growing in population
And creating a mess for them.
Ten wise men sitting together
Were discussing
How to eliminate us
When I crept into the room
They offered me a seat
And told me
That, we mosquitoes
Are multiplying in numbers
Surpassing the human population
And creating troubles.
The chief of human
Said that if we continued this way
We will be killed
And henceforth will not have a place to live
I listened to them patiently told them
That they are acting irrationally
and certainly not us.
We had enough and more to eat always
Even though the plants were getting reduced
Because the human population was burgeoning
And we could change our diet from nectar to blood
We had enough to eat and stay together
We had enough to travel
Length and breath
And even on the high rises
As dwelling units increased
While the forest areas decreased
It is you the human who have problem
Of food and water yet you are not controlling
And growing on and on
We are wiser and we tend to grow
Only as long as all of us
Have enough to eat and drink
And all are alike
You have a problem
Where some have food and some have not
And its not we hence we feel that
You have to make effort and not we
The chief got wild and said “I can eradicate you”
I warned and cautioned before you eradicate
I can eliminate your human kingdom
By mass spread of biological diseases
Even before you wake up and know the cause
But we will never do, as we are intelligent
And we would like to eat and live peacefully
We know that without you we don’t exist
It is up to you, to understand
And you may do what you want
But we are clear what to do.
I was about to leave and said that
I can help you control your population
If you want me to do and you have no other means to do
By selective elimination of human beings
Across by spreading diseases
We can balance ourselves
At any time, based on your strategies
If your increase plants and forests
We will migrate, if not we will continue
To stay and grow as long as you grow
Rest assured you are the problem and not us.
