Hunger Causes Anger

The magnificent sun is shining bright Flooding the natural earth with white light My emotions are immersed in anger My strength is usurped by pangs of hunger I think of years of economic boom While I am leaning over an old broom Right in the middle of the room that I sweep I strive to put more efforts not to weep Digestion systems in the stomach grind Prompting signals of despair in my mind I think to leave the club of sun-seekers As I take turns between sweeping and breaks I hear the highly screeching sound of brakes As the bus driver brings it to a halt Near the beer hall that sells the beer of malt I decide to make short rhymes in rumbles As I decide to do no more grumbles Because on the table that will put no bread But I have great strength of a thoroughbred To carry me through the longest thoroughfare Because I have no pennies for bus fare But I have to follow the job-seekers
