Pain of Hunger

I quickened my pace into life, Gazing at the sun as it burns through and the moon as it glows. Worried as some of my terror resulted from my errors. Walked through melancholy with drops of tears. Abdomen murmuring and wont stop torturing, beckoning the worms to feed. Dizziness overclouded, so the door gets closer. Feel my head spinning, but still. Lips dried like the desert. Body, pale like a dead bird. Mischievous thoughts crawled my medulla. Take by force whats not yours. Cried for night fall, comes another day. Hoped to be saved by the day each day I fell asleep as I fight deceit.

The real morality (at large distance from the sophisticated ethics ) of this world could begin when nobody died because hungry. You touch a sensible point politicians could put down in their agenda. I appreciate very much your sensitivity, imagery and high morality choosing important themes expressed with much passion and in touching manner.How lovely if we could speak only of a poetical hungry. To live not only with bread may have significance for those who could not feel hungry.
