Accelerated Evolution...The Epic

Fast track development from germ to beast
Flies into the heart of Ether and rhymes
As might fit humour's phantasy released
Thus below reason trails phantasy's crimes

Having proferred caution's reality
Suppose madness entered the minds of few
Whose paranoid drives plus their specialty
Led to freakish rates at which bad traits grew

Upon their gatherings arrived one dark day
Cash flow wandering within their strudels
Pieces and parts with design sought to play
Genetic doodles with cats and poodles

Out of their effort a sequence arrived
Beginning with the tiniest of germs
Which once inhaled, where they nourished and thrived
Quickly evolved to wiggly little worms

These then burrowed straight towards the brain
Growing eyes and hands as they crawled thru
Learning to think while they induced great pain
They bored to places where nightmares grew

Curling up they absorbed evil from thought
Whence they devoured one's human host's essence
Having eaten all but the skin kept taught
Mimicked people asleep in your presence
