The Roach You Will Always Have With You

Way to go, OS. Quick reflex the victory won.

As I prepare to compare
The ROACH to what
ails us

I kill another mosquito.
That's two since last night,
a big moth before that, plus

Those small kitchen moths,
an all-summer haunt, daily smashed
(...sourced to cereal/seeds).

The knats in big numbers from
who knows what plunder, we just ignore
usually,

But none of this matters
like roaches in houses.
They're proof

Something vile lives here.

(It's OK with you? Can
Insects be doomed?
I've no patience with PETA bug lovers.)

 Every headline that lands
On my driveway
Concurs with the Bible's meanest assertion.

Mean, yes, but true.
Bertrand Russel can vouch.
Daily wickednesses proves human nature.

Fallen and need prone
It's not just the criminal.
All of us sin every minute.

Today's banner reads,
"Mom gets 5 years" cause she
Repeated a folly post-Eden

That's legal in 50 states
and 'round the world: She just
ended the life of her newborn.

WHY WHY do the Democrats
and glib GOP'ers
equivocate killing of life?

OK when it's in the womb,
A crime if not.
Insanity.

Roaches come calling.

Filling in all the cracks left by incompetent cabinet makers.

Ran out of duct tape, so Joannie N said
"use unwound Brillo" to keep out the pests.

Pencil tucks it between wood and wall.

What pencil will tuck in a national salve of Bright Brillo Cure
For cultural blindness?

Babies slaughtered legally
every day,
right down the street
or
right on our street
or
right in our homes.

What madness.
