What a marvelous living organism
My Body is!
Walking, talking, breathing,
Like a tree housing many lives in unison.
The worms, the germs, and the bacteria,
All feeding and growing upon
My live blood, flesh, and bones.
We talk about human encroachment-
Just look at these menacing predators!
Mute and invisible killer encroachers,
Like our soulmates in birth and death,
Our companions to heaven and hell!

Marvelous living organism is well understood but mystery motivates misery. This poem is very brilliant poem well penned and this deserves full 10.
A true account of parasites which are our companions in birth and death alike, poetically expressed
A pure hard hitting poem, we are of this earth in all its beauty and all of its worms. I personally like the temple of God metaphor better because I've been told maggots don't pray.
p.s. Maybe see my: A Mouse In My Stomach.....[long; Human Body; Animals] submitted 2012 bri :)
