In sickness
There are those diseases
That can’t attack
When health tide is high
But take opportunity
When a bigger one strikes
So do some people
Who take advantage
Of other’s vulnerability
Lurking in the shadow
Till other´s defence
Falls at a low
They are opportunists
Of a lesser degree
Than the disease itself

You are so true with this one. I think some people are wired to be bullies and those who will pounce upon you when you are down. Good write.

Abdi-Noor, your poem describes what I have long termed as the "Plastic People of Society". Immoral individuals that care only for themselves and their personal desires. The rest of mankind, be damned. Great poem describing some of societies' Vermin. May peace be always with you . JMW

Sad reality, Abdi-Noor, it's like those that take advantage of others after a disaster - gaining off the misfortune of others is horrible. Well said -

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(

Lil Brother opportunists are worse than vultures because most times vultures don't feed on living things. They are like kimoto dragons.Peace love blessings and gratitude are wished for you always. Grangran-n-Baba

Like the Carpet baggers we had here in the South after the Civil War.
Opportunists is being to polite. You got to call a vulture a vulture.
