What do you think this poem is about?

Poison Ivy

Wrapping around your limbs
they take a vice like grip
they'll bleed you dry
until there's nothing left
they care for no one
but themselves

They'll hurt you and your family
they'll hurt the young and the old
they are poison ivy with no soul

    Cannibals never last long, good use of a metaphor, for the hurt some people cause
