What Was and What Has Been and Done

What was and what has been and done It was a rainy night full of loud noises and bleak emotions Distraught about the cold and the empty feeling in the stomach With low tolerance of having not much vitamins Viruses eat away in the flesh within Vomiting gross white worms that feed from within Mind sickens when rapid beating of the heart Decay of blood in the inside where disease erupts At three years of age experience is all I need to know That food is the key to survival at that young age Picking it from the ground or eating insects Separating the waste to just get the edibles Fear of not having anything till that next day You fall on the ground staring up into the sky Immense pain in the inside that you have surpassed The feeling of all the depressions of the world When the world could feed its self When the feeling of not having something to eat Is all you fear, a gash on your foot full of maggots is nothing The surface does not hurt as long as your mind has hunger Think of all the worlds’ food being wasted Because of its size, length, weight, unexpired dates The dates that don’t even reach before it is bad Gets thrown away, in a pile of waste What was and what has been and done
