Notes About The Poem

HUNGER’S AWARENESS BOAST

 

I have no boundaries,

And an unusual equanimity;

My equality is most extraordinary:-

The world over, there’s my shared pity;

Like death, I practice a weird democracy:-

Matters not to me, who and where you may be

I’m there in all cities, states, and every country:-

There will always be a luscious place for the old me;

I’ve survived in the best and the poorest family:-

I’m as old as time, and still here, ticking too:-

Y’all better get on to what you need to do;

I may soon be coming to visit with you:-

You may think this is all really funny,

But one day, you may cry with me:-

HUNGER’S AWARENESS BOAST

I have no boundaries,
And an unusual equanimity;
My equality is most extraordinary:-
The world over, there’s my shared pity;
Like death, I practice a weird democracy:-
Matters not to me, who and where you may be
I’m there in all cities, states, and every country:-
There will always be a luscious place for the old me;
I’ve survived in the best and the poorest family:-
I’m as old as time, and still here, ticking too:-
Y’all better get on to what you need to do;
I may soon be coming to visit with you:-
You may think this is all really funny,
But one day, you may cry with me:-
