Underneath your very skin 

Or deep within your shin

Or hidden in an inner organ 

Or even in your very brain

Hidden in your thirty trillion cells

There is one

Who feels distain

Who feels neglect, perhaps

Entitled perhaps

There is one

Who wants to go against the grain

Who wants to make life all about him

Or maybe — maybe it’s just a whim

Whatever the reason, the cause or triggering event

Its very soul is bent

Hell-bent, in fact, on twisting life 

All around his own minuscule strife

Unknowing as an ant

Of  four billion years 

It took for human bodies to evolve

Unknowing that it doesn’t all revolve

Around the sicko single cell anemic

Ignoring all the subtle body’s beauty

It thinks it can direct the lungs and heart and brain

To operate much better than they do

Ignores 10 billion other folks as well

Ignores the other species making up the Tree

It knows of nothing but its own ambition blind

Naught of love and naught of kind

And as though not bad enough

It spreads its toxic lying stuff 

Screaming chemical signals to emphasize 

It needs to metastasize

False signals and fake news

To snooze the body that fostered its own life

Imagined strife

Dissect, Direct and Demonize, Demoralize, Dichotomize

It has no other goal in life

Than spread itself and power everywhere until thus

Its coward-yellow pus 

Metastasizes all of US.
