Me So Hungry

The heart wants what it wants The body craves what it desires The soul searches for truth and meaning And our brains are generally on fire Singers describe their anguish in song and doctors prescribe a pill Theologians define the right and wrong and psychologists send you a bill Appetite and hunger for all things under heaven and earth Is the price of admission and the dept we all must pay And the Almighty wouldn"t take away your endless longing- even if he could- nor have it any other way "Freedom from want" is a pernicious lie Perpetrated by the "elites" and all that money they never give up Soupkitchen soul for the condescending folk Plastered onto a groovy coffee cup Appetite and hunger, from the cradle to the grave is their ugly sin of omission, a rather obvious display But God has the final word- even if you haven't heard- on what is the final price we all must pay
