Hungry and Angry

One could see from his mood 
That he had long been denied food;
A new way of walking pointblank crude,
Ninety-Five percent of his speeches rude!

Eyes that now like the mind brood, 
Easily the same stripping nude 
And a neck that had to slant 
Like a non-watered dying plant.
Then, the man could by bread live alone 
If God would a loaf throw down from His Throne... 

Right now, still hungry and quite angry 
For its not stretching to all and sundry.
