Need Compassion

Hunger and Thirst,
You attacked a lot making me fainting 
And drove me to a food corner
I sat on a table to call a waiter 

Men and women with fiery red eyes shouting to a waiter 
“Your price is too high for bread”
The baker in the bakery with full of tears looks at scene making 
A dough rough and soft to bake a bread.

The baker makes a dough tough to bake a round bread,
Hiccups with rough sounds
Attack his throat 
He pours water into mouth and rolls the dough to make tough 

His shirt gets wet and heat beats man
Sweat loves him and he loves sweat 
And let the sweat sleep  
He makes doughs tough to bake breads 


Men and women say “Price is too high”  
They handle man to sell their fatigue for cheaper price 
But, the dedication of the time and life, 
Require the compassion
