Parasitic revolution

Most everybody can handle a few parasites
but eventually it reaches critical mass
the body runs low on flesh and laughs
it begins a slow collapse from the inside out.

America's body is infested with parasites
The rich, powerful and the thoroughly corrupted
are flaying the good people to sate the parasites
in hopes of gleaning votes from their dependence.

When they run low on good people
the malnourished and entitled parasites 
will turn on those that have fed them.
Let's call it a parasitic revolution.
From the progeny of good people 
and enlightened parasites, 
a virgin middle class will arise.
They'll replenish equilibrium....
A new age ecosystem if you will.

In the meantime, the socialist buzzards 
and communist hyenas
are moving in for a sniff.
Note that an elephant is never easy prey,
especially when wounded and perpetually played.
