i woke up
still longing sleep
i rolled up
my mosquito net
then i ventured
into the unused room
pushed open the window
the morning creeped in
that's when the bloodsuckers took flight
a swarm of mosquitoes

i cut off the sunlight
their escape route
i left the room
and returned
with a chemical weapon
of mass destruction
i plugged it in
i turned it on
the indicator shone yellow
maximum strength
i left the room
closing the door

i heard no cries
i guess they went
on the quiet

an hour passed
i thought it enough
i returned
to that room never used
all was quiet
it was dark
no signs of resistance
i let the light in
the scene of a crime
mosquitoes on the ground
many dead
many still unwilling
i crushed them
under my big feet

mission complete
i reached for the broom
and swept the evidence away
of the ugly sight
a genocide
