Hungry

Starving people take desperate actions They steal They cheat They lie Sell their bodies Fill their bellies with cheap, fluffy junk Just to survive But barely alive Desperate times, desperate measures We understand We’ve been there Even if it’s just a bellyache And not malnourishment One meal a day isn’t enough But some exist on one each week Or less And we wonder why they do desperate things And we wonder why we do desperate things A good diet Milk Bread Meat Fruit Frequent meals A few snacks Even a treat once in a while Or a glass of wine Signs of a healthy life Signs of an abundant life No need for desperate actions Just gratitude and satisfaction Did you think I was talking about food? Did you? We don’t live by bread alone
