eat or be eaten

all these soil organisms
have broken me down
combusted the engine called the soul
there is no such thing
as good bacteria
it clings together to form
the new black plague
fools will say eat your bacteria
to preserve your digestion
never realizing the grasp of infection
with the only remedy
being diet cola.
