Hunger

Dim eyes
Seeking cold ice
Am out again
Hope I find something to gain
Legs shaking because they lack balance
Hope I qualify for a free glance.

Head spinning
Body itching
Ears blunt
I bluff and stunt
Brain dull
Heavens fall….

For how long must you torment me?
Enough is enough for that torment
Cry all you want
Nothing have I found
To hold us bound
Neither bread nor butter
Not gold or silver
Keep on and you’ll suffer the pain
Then you’ll see all efforts were in vain
We both loose
Or you better choose.
