Agent Orange (Free verse) by Fear of Garbage
I go somewhere when i'm in Tibet.
I am a garden of color and oranges
and green heaven rivers.
My family eats nothing but fruit.
A few insects come around in the garden
and populate the food with their larvae.
i get insecticide on our clothes.
i get insecticide on our fruit and Agent Orange
up my nose, but there are just too many bugs living here.
They get into my sheets and mouth.
While i'm sleeping spiders spin webs in my throat
and lay their eggs backs there.
i wake up coughing insects.
I don't know why they come where they are not wanted,
but there are just too many bugs living here.
