Beloved Parasite Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Within the womb two strains combine.
Some genes of your with genes of mine.
To form a brand new entity.
Which thrives in the security.

Divides and sub divides again
develops limbs, organs and brain.
All of its needs mother supplies
A veritable paradise.

Takes what it needs quite selfishly
existing parasitically
Its only purpose is to grow.
That’s all it knows or needs to know.

But mother knows the time will come
when he must leave his present home
and face the hostile world outside.
Her hopes and dreams well satisfied

Although the baby will
and seek the comfort of her breast.
There is no choice it has to be
an independent entity.

No longer just a parasite.
The baby still retains the right.
To have its wants and need supplied
which mother’s readily provide.

A petty tyrant who demands
obedience to his commands.
A whimper brings her to his side
His wishes must be satisfied.
