Leeches on TV, offering me poison to help me forget that they cover my skin
Leeches as landlords, as mortgage-mongers, pretending to be my professional ‘superiors’
Leeches offering me wages to own my work, or a bigger crumb for a lifelong career cage
Leeches hiding chronic, addictive poisons, wrapping it in deceptions and calling it ‘food’
They send me to colluding leeches who offer to conceal my ills with life-long-leeching dependencies
Leeches on Capitol Hill, pretending to be of the people whose work and homes they secretly own
Leeches faking out hosts on TV, uttering ‘democracy’ and ‘freedom,’ fatter leeches hiding behind them
Plutocratic parasites wrapping their tentacles around the White House, Wall Street, Main Street
Leeches purchasing representatives representing only the ability to leech off of the disadvantaged
Leeches turning their hosts against one another, so that they won’t notice the suckers on their skin
Leeches wearing tunics, pretending to speak for God, acting as the descendants of imperial leeches
Leeching empires whose monstrous missionaries gobbled up the world, feeding on the unprotected
Bloodsuckers who freed themselves from parasitic predecessors, the War for Independent Leeching
So that they could claim the ‘New World’ that’s as old as theirs, eating the natives near to annihilation
Some hosts fighting back, the leeches adapting, hiding their suckers, tricking the gullible with illusions
Leeches learning magic tricks, “look at this hand, watch it wave as the other reaches into your pocket”
Overfed leeches offering ‘credit’ so that they can rob you, ‘interest’ a euphemism for theft
Leeches corralling their containments with ‘keep out’ signs set around their stolen property
Leeches teaching their entitled sucking offspring how to attach their suckers where none will see
“Don’t worry,” they hint with a wink, “you won’t be here when the Mother Host comes to collect”
Leeches pushing Her into upheaval, her feverish attempts to expel the parasites growing by the day
The next generation of promising young leeches droning the pledge of a’leeching before they can think
The hypnotically waving flag flying behind the globalizing sword slicing through resistance to leeching
Recruiters for the leeches tricking the gullible and disadvantaged into dying for more lands to leech
Domestic leeches looking for foreign leeches to share the concealed right to leech off of their people

Suck us dry ye ‘advanced’ parasites selling greed and oppression as freedom and justice for all
You haven’t fooled every host, but this you know, only enough to keep the social body bared to you
I feel you on my skin every day in every way, trying futilely to penetrate one of the few fortified minds
Those like me will build those forts as high and strong and as open to as many hosts as we possibly can
Therein we exist within the only free space, where we recognize leeches, and prevent your entry
This the leeches call insanity: to see and fight to be free of the leeching oppression of hosts on the Host
You pathetic parasitic beings seeking nothing but the means to conceal evil in every semblance of good!
Wealth of Nations my pucker-scarred ass! More like Oppression of the People, or The Parasitic Playbook!
