I
It came visiting
Looking fragile and harmless
In quiet heelless shoes
II
None gave it a thought
As it built its strong mansion
But now we all see
III
Why do we all see?
Because many disappear
Whenever it eats
IV
Its meals were first dark
Darkness tried fleeing but failed
As light watched perturbed
V
Some light gave a chase
It ate them all without thought
Conquering rubber
VI
Darn mobility!
It trails many in hunting
Increasing its range
VII
Insatiable now,
Its fire still remains unquenched
So we flee in vain

Thirst is never quench. Hunger is never satisfied. In man or beast. It’s all part of what we are. Satisfaction is insatiable. As all is in need, we all become needy.
