Destruction
A home invasion:
In your water wells,
In your plants, your food source.
Harming our wildlife.
silent, microscopic, omnipotent.
Your drainage systems rendered useless,
Your lawn- a dangerous battlezone.
83.3 million carriers, each
bearing billions of soldiers

Disease
plaguing your loved ones,
Seeping through your pores and
your nutrients
causing temperatures to slide up,
little by little,
the origin unknown.
23 million:
the smallest possible attack team.
You have no way to prepare.

Defecation
of the four-legged, domesticated animals
Unknowingly unleashing angry bacteria
out to consume and torture.
Fooled by their playful facade,
the fuzzy ears and button nose,
we put them on a leash and take them on a tour.
These curious explorers don’t intend to harm
So bury it, bag it, or flush it down-
just pick up after your dog!
