Notes About The Poem

regrets of yesteryear

we stood alone
that's how hunger works

we craved attention
a little praise

when i think back
we could have banded

we could have been strong
but we didn't

Saying a lot with few words! It reminds me of a story I heard about how bamboo sticks, when they are together, can't be broken.
