Goddamn Roaches

        I killed ten thousand roaches
        There were thousands more
         There must be a secret lair
             I haven't seen before

       They crawl across the ceiling
           From out of little holes
     They baptize all their off spring
       in my dumb cat's water bowl

     They move around my furniture
         in the middle of the night
          All my s**t is rearranged
      You know that just ain't right

   They have turf wars in the kitchen
        The pots and pans they fly
     They car jacked a Verizon Van
         They rob all passers by

       I use every spray imaginable
          Banned FDA pesticides
        A secret unstable formula
      Made from old formaldehyde

    I went flame thrower on their asses
   Constructed from a lighter and spray
      I incinerated many thousands
       and still they won't go away

       This war is unconditional
       The outcome is unknown
        Next I'm going Kamikazi
      Strappin on predator drone

Funny, funky, fuzzy, crazy, nice, just like mice, are the roaches. You created a good atmosphere

In a way, you've described one of my fears - being overrun by rogue roaches. That's one unusual piece of work and I love it. Thanks for sharing.

much like army people in trenches listening for how close the bombs are getting.

you made it too real.

That was very interesting ans unique. i don't believe I have ever read anything quite like this before, but I like it. Your choice of words helps create an image in my head. I can almost see someone just going crazy because of roaches. I remember when I liked on a ranch we just couldn't seem to keep the flies and roaches away. My mother was so frantic and she bug-bommed all the time. Eventually, she gave up because they just wouldn't die! When I moved out, I mannaged to keep them out of the new house with this peppermint hemp soap. I love the second to last stanza; it completely describes what it is like trying to get rid of these pests. Thought this poem is sort of gross, I enjoyed reading it. The only suggestion I have it to fix your tenses. In the fifth stanze it says " I used..." and then in the next stanza, you wrote "I went...". In this case it should all be in the past tense. So, it would be" I used". But...I don't know, it maight have just been a typo. All-in-all, this poem is great. Keep it up!!!
