In time, each human being like each insect yet is doomed,
consuming others' needs till it itself squashed is consumed.

a dedication of Respect
for
the Painful Cost of each consumption
repetitive
a revolving helios couplet menippean satire on
the popular economic notion of a free lunch --
in Reality a concept
empty
april, 2023 -- on Earth still over 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000)
soulless bugs --
both human and non-human --
at any given time
either consuming or being consumed
