I am a partaker  
but the smallest morsel
would easily satisfy--
can't see
the reason why
some would want
it all and later sigh
for over-indulgence
in indigestion
ending
in spewing-
what an ugly sight!
the object of ridicule
to those who pass by--

the species
most self-seeking
most greedy
most uncaring
most unrelenting
most depressing
absolutely disgusting-
mankind
which has lost
both its heart
and mind
a creature
primordial
a mistake
of nature-

I'll stand last
in the queue
(not even in view)
while other rush
for what they assume
they have the first right
to consume-

if all has been taken
by the early-comers
and nothing is left
for the late arrivals
like me--I would walk away
and not be embittered
I would just say:
there's another time
another day.
