How should one view a parasite?
Is there a right or a wrong way?
As monsters, thieves, or upside down-
It’s good to know, they say.
Well then, survey them all around,
And too the one called host.
You’ll find him in alarming form,
Much needier than most.
As a flower which by self volition,
Bedecks itself in hues
He draws-in awestruck, hungry patrons
With a little, cunning rouge.
Perhaps all patriarchs and matrons
From which great history feeds
Are equally as much dependent
Due to vulnerabilities.
How should one view a parasite?
From the vantage of within.
You’re a host or you’re the other kind,
Which are the same thing to begin.
