Hirudines

Kurt Philip Behm

Parasites never worry

about the host

Sucking out the lifeblood

—spitting on the corpse

    'perspective, is a luxury
    we're all afforded by ignorance
    for each parasite
    exists, due to another parasite
    and is sucking
    someone's blood, just to survive...'
    (its crazy dear Poet
    often I hear friends judging
    own mutual friends
    and see people react violently
    about the rich and the powerful
    but
    they
    we
    all forget we're all ants, crawling
    all over mother earth's, patience
    denouncing
    the beauty and wonder of existence
    while lamenting each pinch of life
    and then we spit
    kick and rape, nature's resources
    while moaning about how unfair
    it all is
    for us...)
    another thought provoking read, thanks for sharing
    (btw what does the title signify)

    IMHO, It all comes down to intent.

      so true, like that courtroom line
      between
      self-defence and opportunism..
      (can you offer any hints with 'hirudines'?
      went over my little wannabe intellect
      and its kinda, bugging me
      lol)

        'Leeches' in Latin.
