Parasites

 

Some creatures live off of another,

And even within our own insides.

Bacteria, viruses, worms,

Fungi and other parasites.

 

Even people can be parasites,

Living off the life of another.

Sucking the vital energies,

Like a blood sucking vampire

 

Some life forms can co-exist,

And help each other out;

Otherwise the parasite might overwhelm the host,

And take both them off their route.

 

No life can live alone,

Even parasites must have some place,

All life must find its own niche;

Just not
