a parasitic allegory

A Parasitic Allegory

 

 

 

 

 

In an earth so messed up

I have to tell this story

Like worms to an apple

This is my parasitic allegory

 

Draining all things

Growing in numbers

We do all we can to survive

But at one point

We surpass survival to sin

We come gluttonous and take all we can

 

Overindulgent we are overrunning

A gift that was given to us

We started out small and right

Now we are overpopulate and take what we want

 

We started out so good and right

Now we’re just one big mess

A time lapse in-between shows a steady fall

Now we hoard and use it all

 

We’re like parasites

Feeding off the life of mother earth

Draining more and more

Until nothing’s left

 

Burrowing

Infesting

Unresting

Fiends

Feeding and feeding

Humans are the parasitic things!

 

So in the years from now we’re in

We can look back and recall

Something in this familiar story

Could help us stop it all

 

The repetition is the irony

In this parasitic allegory

Allegory is history

This one is happening now

 

Compared to the fires

This may save the future once

Fix it now

Don’t ask how

Stop feeding off the host
