The tiniest creatures
Will often times cause the
Most irritation for
Humankind.
The pesky barrage of the
Infinitesimal pest is a test
Of the tolerant mind.
Consider the flea, the louse
Or the tick,
Diminutive blood-sucking
vermin
Who kick and claw
Until they get into your
skin,
Inviting legions of their
kith and kin
To come along for the
bountiful feast,
And drink the blood of the
giant beast.
But the most destructive
cannot be seen
With the naked eye, no matter
how keen.
They breed and grow without
procreation
'Til their legions are the
size of a nation,
And their needful ways are
cause for alarm
As we shrink from their
coming
And quake from their harm.
Microscopic beast of evil,
Hidden armies you employ.
Singular is your agenda;
Humankind would you destroy.
