The Mumbai Marsupial

A long colossal cuboidal structure arrived grunting and groaning at the concrete platform on which a hellacious crowd of marsupials waited listlessly for the container to come. Perhaps they were scurrying to other little cubicle containers. As the crowd of these two-legged creatures with huge bags on their bellies forced themselves inside the metallic cuboidal structure, some even fainted while the others continued to push their way hard through the dense crowd. All in a hurry, they didn't seem to care much about their peers, be it in pace at walking or at work.

Intense competition for space, air, money, health, and ultimately, for living life, had exacerbated their problems of constraints, which were now visible and experienced more prominently. They would wake up every morning and hurry from one little cubicle to the other and yet to another, and this cycle, an avariciously vicious one, would keep running perennially. Although this pace guaranteed some security in their mortal lifespan, the very fact of mortality didn't quite seem to impress on them.

And yet again in anthropic history, a newly socially evolved marsupial, which indeed was a product of 'caah-pee-tuh-lee-summm', would lose its life with no impression of sympathy due to its own widespread mental invention; unlike the stone-age man, this time for a thought and not for a famished lion faced during a drought!
