Hunger Poems - Poems about Hunger

And the Lord will say to them on Judgment Day, “I was hungry, and you defunded my food aid programs. I was thirsty, and you rolled back drinking water protections.

I have to eat enough. I opened up everything. Give them a patch of lawn. Or maybe a toast. The first thing I learned. Inside of cooked shopping trips. Could be a cookie on the sidewalk. But then they would hurt. Shoes are the ones who feel. Flopping over. I have to eat more. The monster...

I came with sorrow on my breath, through darkness chilled by doubt, and sought the warmth of friendship's fire to drive the coldness out.

My sweetness, from you, my first meal, Exclusively for six. And for many more months after~ The grub that made me tick. You'd go hungry for me to eat. Still my tum begs for more What yours for days has been denied, For hunger there to roar. Empty tummy twirls blank your eyes, Then you fall down and faint. Still you rise just to find...

The world feeds on tragedy, with an insatiable hunger for misfortune, They demand confessions, not out of care, but to dissect and devour the soul, When I reveal my pain, their eyes become glassy with disgust, And their pity drips like acid on my open and bleeding wounds. Perhaps that's why I've made my sadness a "nameless grave," A place...

There come those moments when men cease to be men And turn into dogs. Dogs that bite and dogs that whine; Dogs that lay Panting On top of you And infect you with their spilling saliva Dulled eyes full of starving thoughts of violence. They’re all so charming until you see the rabies in their mouths And their lips, Docked by their hunger Grinning like...

There was a day, I lost my way, Then I was young back in the day, I enjoyed that my aimless roam. Though I was many miles from home. I bothered less about the tears, How my absence would've caused fears ~ In the minds of my peers and rents; Though deep in my soul it torments. When hunger finally set in, Then I...
