BLOOD!!!!

I lie on my bed

Busy watching a mosquito

Listening to its lyrics

I'm tempted to dance to its tune

But its movements in circles

So disgusting

I think of its freedom

The way it moves freely during the curfew hours

I envy that 

To even get some few bites on the "ever timely" officers

But then I realize it's within my cage

In my mosquito net

Freedom limited

My hand begin twitching

Beckoning me to smack it and get it over with

But what's the essence

What's the essence of smacking that bloody pest?

Coz we are all but out for some blood too

Aren't we?

Some innocent blood

So tell me

Is your interest towards that "dem ameiva" good?

The way you look at that hot neighbour,

Are your intentions towards him straight?

Are your intentions towards that hot secretary clear?

Are your interests in that contract known?

Are they?

That colleague at the office

Are your intentions about them pure?

Or are we just but blood sucking vampires in human skins

Bettered with nice hair cuts, denims and rugged jeans

So please don't judge my keenness to the mosquito's rhythm

Coz it's also out for some innocent blood.
