Parasites Poem by Aaron Jackson

Parasites come for the taking
Capitalizing on the world,
Cheating others of living.
And it's all just become one
big game of survival.
Parasites come for the taking,
Of health
Of life
Of happiness
Of expression




Parasites come for the taking
Of those who weren't expecting it
Of those who have to come home to nothing
Of those who brought themselves
up from their bootstraps
Of those who despite their talent,
the world sees them, as a waste
Parasites come for the taking



Parasites come for the taking
Of my health
And life
And happiness
And expression
They take it when I'm not expecting it
And when I think I have nothing
Parasites took everything from me
And they replaced it with greed
And Wealth
And I am losing this game of survival
All because parasites came for the taking
