Persistent mosquitoes sing all night,
Resilient me sleeps awake,
Merciless weather burns its charcoal
And government megawatts produced blackout.
Mosquito net is a blanket of heat and
Insecticides spray is fresh air to this late night
Helicopters whirring in my ears, biting my sweaty and
Sticky skin, itching, and itching…,
The night becomes a battleground of bloodletting.
Kill one, another takes its place, fighting
With cluster bomb of discomfort, sleepless night,
And malaria.
