Parasites To Be Buried

Mosey along, the martyr strode
Mishmashed mouthpiece-
An emblem crusted implode
What struck him dusty-
A fanciful future
Rhymed in dust heaps

Communal swelling
The measure is conspicuous 
We've been trained
To magnify the magician's farm
Glowing on the backs
Of extracted wealth
Misery soon follow

The amped up road rage
Within a city's targeted swallow
Makes motion corrosive
And divine beings, we ransack
For gas guzzling chase
All tongue-in-pie spasms
When magnetic plates quake

Find your parallel 
If you can listen
The phonetic flowers drawn ghostly 
No hurry
Just parasites to be buried
