Analysis of Beyond Therapy
When a mosquito takes a bite
It doesn’t expect a fair fight;
A slap and it’s done,
It’s not a fight that’s been won.
It’s removal of a pest,
A nuisance at best.
No one shouts about rights or norms;
It’s a miniature battle or one of war’s forms.
Waking a sleeping giant is not an advisable path;
You’re only incurring its waking wrath.
What good does it do to pick an un-winnable fight?
Then spending a bloody aftermath debating who’s wrong or right?
