BECAUSE NATURE TOLD US SO
“Mosquito”

Splat.
Another one bites the dust.

Such inevitable fate
As we’ve been cursed.
As we lust for blood.
Because nature told us so.

We are unwanted guests.
Our skills are put to test.
We have no time to rest.

Sting.
An interlude between our wings.

We have finished our meal.
The wound starts to heal.
There is no time for relief.
We don’t know what would happen if…

It is not Darwin’s fault.
It is not Kafka’s either.
It is not even our fault.
Because nature told us so.
