Greed On a Platter

desire, food, leadership, truth, word play, Greed On A Platter© I cannot say, what is there to say Where to go, sleep, eat, or if I stay What to do or I don’t want 'it' to stop I don’t need to or have to eat slop I like vegetables, meat and sour dough I will, I want, and I see that you want also My name is hunger, and you 'crave' to be leader I’m not fat nor am I slight but I am a feeder It is in ‘all’ to gain a win; as game-pieced players Necessitating begging or haggling for prized favours Time spent in, time spread out and timed whatever for Trying to 'jilt' the rich, one 'earns' to be made forever poor!
