hunger

is all
word world and waste
the great trump
the only ever
greetings from hunger

thought as repast disappoints
right can be reasoned
but fullness is felt
try eating this
greetings from hunger

starving wants all
primes the heart
pumps hunting blood
waits impatiently
greetings from hunger

having wants more
thinks with a full stomach
and craving craves craving
lack is feast for the overfed
greetings from hunger

hunger is all
word world and waste
dig in
you have no choice
greetings from hunger
