Of Leeches and Mosquitoes


Some work by night
while others by day
still others do both
but one thing in common
both are blood suckers
of leeches and mosquitoes
giving sickness and woes
sucking between the toes
others at the elbows
to whom shall I compare
thy treacheries unfair?
like corrupt leaders
like selfish teachers
like cheating workers
like bribed writers
That hide the keys
to the door of success
which they entered
leaving the rest so battered
