Hungry Men

A struggle he had to triumph To fill up the stomach There's no running No more hiding The place were whacked No more dividing The stone on his back Weighed some hundred kg's Definitely not enough money value To feed his 15 babies Those tears they dried Even before they fell Every drop of which A story they can tell Miles and miles of distance And hundreds of miles of pain Thousand of tons of earth A penny is what he gains The fight is here for money The fight is here for the love The fight has been there even longer The fight for the smile and The fight for the hunger
