Dr. Upma A. Sharma Poet Free verse

Hunger Pangs

Hunger juices





Living to eat or eating to live,
Hobby, habit or need ?
Money matters or personal,
While rich were obese,
Poor kids anorexic.

Royal cheese and creamy daal,
Tandoor is red hot,
Crisp chapatis and pickle,
Saliva fills mouth,
Nasal buds get taste,
Delicious,
Wow !

Dream shatters as eyes open,
Saliva drools into the eyes,
The kids sleep in hunger again !
