Yellow Dodder


Yellow dodder, you are no better
than a freeloader,
survive sucking your host.

You are mere a sham, a veritable scam,
and always you boast.
Indeed you’re nothing but a mock-up most.

You are a parasite and ungrateful most
You never mind to penetrate your host.
You are a betrayer and silent killer
and a patricide sheer.

You are mere gilded not gold I know
Alas, men bow to instinct and think
‘seeing is believing’ though.

You pass straight at first-sight test.
But for quality quest
you surely come out trinket at best.

Attraction for ‘Apple of Sodom’ is inborn
it’s a limitation for human.

All hurry and scurry to lay hands on
lest his share is gone.
But once obtained and prick the surface
out come its true face.

Yellow Dodder, you are mere eyes’ fodder,
a veritable double-crosser.

Woe to us, you act as a perfect mirror
of present day human affair.
Outside attire, demeanor are mere show
All talk honey but poison inside though.

Earthbound ants grow wings and fly high
to be fodder of birds and flame and surely die.

Yellow Dodder, you’re verily a metaphor
Sent to earth here by our kind Creator.
To show human, their true reflection
and the nemesis, final retributive justice.
