A Natural Command

Hunger,
A natural command,
All human efforts,
Dedicated or non-dedicated,
Responsible or irresponsible,
Natural or unnatural,
Legal or illegal,
Comfortable or painful,
Supportive or non-supportive,
Understandable or misinterpreted,
Criminal or civil,
Cooperative or opposed,
Contributes a change.
Where a person seeks only rest,
We paid life to control appetite,
Women knew that one intercourse could ruin her life,
She surrenders herself to Poverty,
A Man that is educated and wealthy, seeds HIV and Aids,
A man that is powerful, challenges peace,
And polluted environment,
Where poverty is growing,
For away from his concreted boundaries,
And he delivers messages,
On the air, he has a solution to win the war. 
Nobody can control appetite,
Hunger is only a natural command.
