My Insignificant Snack

Read letters to the left of the word (red) from "a" down to "y" then repeat for the word (blue)! =========================================================== With very little knowing and harmless intention, a(red) s(blue)nack will tide me over til’ dinner You should not be hasty, nor should you be satiety, my d(red)ad a(blue)dmits this and my mouth should be thinner The marketplace is full of u(red)nwrapped d(blue)elights, that will satisfy idol time in boarding Father also says my hunger deepens as my groomed dinner cheapens because I l(red)ay i(blue)n hiding I’m hoarding HE knows what I need and shuns what I want t(red)o s(blue)how what I deed to nuns what I hant Weep moans as I feed but none e(red)aten t(blue)hought Deep groans as I bleed but none neaten fought This snack could not, what I dreamt it would r(red)eally i(blue)nvoke commodious cover with nothing a hoax My Daddy was right should I vomit or choke should I promise to y(red)oke c(blue)an I lawlessly coax My daddy says NO, but HE still loves me, HE just says it, and then it is so =========================================================== ~This piece is drawn into true essence with the vacillating grouping of letters; entities separated by colours red and blue (which are in parentheses because there is no colour in this program). This will truly endow the understanding of this piece when collected after the first read and then at least two more readings as the ambiguity of chosen terminology unfolds respectably even within the contents of each line.
