The plague in the Mirror

We pour over this earth like blood from a rancid wound.
Consuming everything in our path, much more than is needed for our survival.
The "Lesser" creatures on this planet seem to understand the subtle balance it takes to survive here, while we the "intelligent" ones slave night and day in an attempt to gain control of that balance so that we can force the earth to provide us an even greater yield to consume.
and the world turns...

"par·a·site
n.

   1. An organism that grows, feeds, and is sheltered on or in a different organism while contributing nothing to the
survival of its host."

*nod* Your mind is like a catacomb. I'd pay to find out what lurks beneath the surface, but I'm hoping you'll keep giving us snippets like this.
