Parasite Of Burden

Spreading out, like the web of a spider,
Spiralling outward into a pattern,
Symetrical,
Yet unique in its outward existence,
Probing like an arc,
Proliferating unyieldingly,
Amassing,
Splitting,
Mutating,
Growing,
Nurturing,
Spreading,
Multiplying.

Bigotry lives and breathes
Spreading like a cancerous tumor
Convuluting and devouring
A meaningless wasteland
Yet vastly overpopulated.

Diseases are wiped out,
Eradicated,
Exiled from our planet,
Yet within the bowels of those who inhabit
Grows this disease
That eventually will be the ruination
Of all we hold dear
And holy.

Thank God the infection has spared me.
