Parasites, human and animal.
Lawyers and Lampreys

The Lamprey eel suctions to the salmon's side.
Parasite steals till the host is a silver shell,
Which flutters like an Autumn leaf, to the muck bottom.

Micro-organisms obliterate this humble existence.
Detached, the eel slithers off, seeking more.
