Hunger

It strikes one at will,
As one whose intent 
is to kill,
Causing rumbles and 
tumbles in the 
stomack,
Making you rummage 
for solution down in 
the sack!

The causer of all 
kinds of ulcer
That entity 
accompanied with 
bitter pains
Which if untended 
lead it can to cancer
And from which there 
is loss and no gains!

The solution to be 
sought when it 
strikes is food
Whether large or 
small in quantity
So far as this giant 
can be tamed for 
good
By it, be it of high or 
low quality!

Hunger it is that is 
one life's equalities
To both with 
reputable and 
questionable 
qualities!!!
