The Swarm



The Swarm

You know that feeling of violation and filth you get
That shudder you get, whenever you hear about
The tick, the tape worm, or shit eating wriggler

These parasites of dread
Invading even your bed
A childhood nightmare
That you thought you left behind long ago

But like the worst childhood nightmare
It’s returned like a mutated parasite
Filthy all-consuming infecting everything decent

This infection consumes all before it
It has a certain stench, something like Rot and decay

It cares nothing of the child going hungry to feed its need
It rejoices in the worker forced to work for their own poverty

It positively wanks itself with excitement as another school closes
Consumed by greed unequalled, by corruption reaching everywhere

While you continue to look the other way
It continues to gorge itself, on hope and future and anything good

This filth called
Corporate Swarm
