they scurry to hide
It’s our cupboard the bugs cried….
sprayed INSECTICIDE

Spiders she can't abide.  Petrified, 
she applied insecticide inside; 
but then came all undone 
when a really big one 
tried for a ride down her hide outside....

when you tell me to modificate the insecticide
it's more likely a yell than telling, for you had enough
"oh look" never starts a phrase like this, quirkyjoe

but just to bother me, you monthly pay for it...

I didn't lay my bed
So i didn't spread the mosquito net 
I just i just believed i am a virus
Each insect that attacks me
Will feel my venom
It will carry poison 
And i wont fall sick
It will die young 
I will bury it alive
with this insecticide...

Roaming over the wheatfields
     their joints a-cranking
   insecticide fog blankets the air
     Oklahoma dustbowl bleeds 

   Relics of a bygone day, all angles they move
     ravaging fields and pests, pests and fields
   wheels of progress a-churning away
     blackening golden grain
                 ~ pests' entree, noonday...

Insecticide spray

Death is coming 
can you hear the planes? 
Spraying their poisonous package 
Sprinkling down like rain 

deaf to  violence 
blind to famine 
The government convicts and kills 
with without remorse to feel 

death than silence 
confined  & dilapidated 
United states of terror 
New world order 
 creeps nearer and nearer...

It wasn’t monsoon 
but toxic rain. 
Diya drenched
in the doldrums.
Her head bloated,
brain turned barren. 
Her body curved 
as a cashew nut.
Her legs and arms
dried. 


Aches and anxieties
grow up 
in the cashew farm.
Sad sap oozes
out of her mouth.
Her doll lies dead.
Now she isn’t a girl 
but a remnant
on an empty mat.


[Endosulfan is a 
deadly insecticide.]...

Listen to poem:

He tried to clutch hold of
and grasp the grapes on the vines,
ripe and hued purple.

But his clasp was broken
as he was forced to inhale
the insecticide spray 
ejected by overhead drone. 

It was triggered by his motion,
to glide and soar
over the vineyard 
dumping its toxic spray.

With a gasp and loud call out for help
he was apprehended, and 
caught purple handed....
