Scrounger,

Sulking

Lurking

They always lie in wait.

Stalker,

Watching

Waiting

Until some pioneer unveils a beautiful bounty.

Carrion feeder,

Slithering

Scampering

They feast upon their unearned harvest.

Hoarder,

Feasting

Fattening

Reaping treasures their weakness denies.

Rats

Snakes

Vultures.

Nature’s scavengers have nothing but disdain for the:

Thieves,

Poachers,

And Pilferers,

who poison the our art that makes us whole.
