Daily Bread

Just like the car cannot do without it, So also I yearn for it with great desire, Lack of it send cold shivers down my spine, Imagine walking like a ghost in deserted land. Ribs visibly pronounced and counted, Eye balls rolling inside the socket like tennis ball, Tiny legs shaking and vibrating like a spring, Oh, malnutrition! I fear and honor thee!, I wish not to dine with thee ,forever!. A friend to the rich, elusive to the poor, But, the two strive to claim it, When captured, endoparasites rejoice for a feast, Energy and immunity against diseases provided by this wanted elusive fellow. Do without him ,then you invite starvation , Which encompasses malnutrition and even death!, I crave to have a healthy skin not a sag body, So, I struggle within ,to be his friend, Oh!,”mother nature give me my daily bread”.

this one makes me feel like you are acquainted with doing without because you write of it with such passion. I hope you will never have to do without, my friend. nobody should have to go without their daily bread and I hope this one does great if it 's for the food contest.
