Vultures and leeches
To feed off your life
Scabies and tics
They feast with every bite
Apathetic begging
Swarms of empty hands
They reach out to snatch
Whatever they can snag
Dead motivation
Of masses blind and deaf
A circle of self consuming
Idiotic wrath
Killing, lying, stealing
You help for their attack
No returns of favors
Just a stab in the back
Beggars can't be choosers
But no one should betray
A hand that gives and feeds
Just burns and melts away
The plague of our existence
Caused by endless greed
Impossible to save yourself
You watch the planet bleed
