Notes About The Poem

- Hunger -

Globe witness hunger

                                           others lick honey

                                        My hunger is justice

                                     Save them from suffering


                                      Dry weeds in the cracks

                                           on the sidewalk
 
                                     tears, which give the flower 

                                           power to rise again


                                        The stomach is empty 

                                      and rumbles all the time

                                               I'm begging
