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”.
