Parastic Work

parasitic work impresses itself on human bodies and minds
                    the exploiting beings take never to give back
                    drops of blood and sweat flow down the pipeline into the machine
                    oiling it to run the show of exploitation
                    there is no regeneration
negation
mutation
defacing
depression
hunger
agony
                     the parasitic work impresses itself
                     deeper and deeper it incise and engrave itself
leaving the worker peasant human-empty
