just a poem.

I am but one man,
Nothing more nothing less,
Yet I have taken more lives than any soldier.

I am only a simple man,
Nothing more nothing less,
Yet I have left more dead bodies to rot than any war.

I am only human,
Nothing more nothing less,
Yet when they see me, they scatter as if I am an angered god.

They are mere insects to me,
nothing more nothing less,
so my conscience doesn’t pester me when I invade their homes and kill them all.

I am an exterminator,
And I kill insects,
Nothing more, nothing less.
