______________________________________________________________
Today's man, a vessel of desire,
Feeds his body with mutant foods,
Yet hunger deeper, his soul afire,
Cravings are what incite the wildest moods.

In today's world, he falls into a sea of abounds 
Consuming without cogitation or care,
His insatiable hunger knows no bounds.
As he feasts on what's not meant to share.

Genetically modified—chemically enhanced,
His body becomes a battlefield.
As mutant foods grew and danced.
Leaving his health to yield.

His taste buds danced with artificial flavors.
But his soul yearns for something pure.
Something that ignites the primal avers
And makes his spirit soar.

He seeks the forbidden fruit of passion.
The wild and untamed ecstasy,
To satiate the thirst of his frantic ration.
And set his wildest instincts free.

He craves the touch of a lover's hand.
The fire in their eyes, the heat of their breath,
a link that goes beyond the actual land
And satisfies his hunger for depth.

But in this digital age, his soul starves.
For genuine human connection,
As he seeks solace in virtual carves.
Searching for that elusive resurrection.

His insatiable hunger grows day by day.
As he longs for something real,
Yearning for a taste and for sway,
To satisfy his soul's appeal.

He ventures into the depths of mirth.
Where the wild and untamed strive,
Seeking solace in the beauty of the earth,
Where his spirit can truly thrive.

He forages for the fruits of the land.
In fields and forests, he finds his feast.
Nourishing his body with nature's sand,
And his soul with junk—these are the least.
