I made you look
I do not want to turn on the radio because I do not want to hear about more Palestinians starving in Gaza I do not want to satisfy the growling in my stomach because I do not want to feel full when so many perish, even as food deteriorates at locked boarders I do not want...

Meat is pleasing
My head was in a daze, I'd been down here for days. All in the name of love, you'd scream, so I let it happen to me. My skin is like fondant, you'd peel it back. I winced and whined, But didn't fight back. Your fingers scrape against my skin, trying to find a way...

There, my home There, where good never comes within bull's roar of eer There, where penurious rule the penury There, my home Where hazy are hopes and aspirations Extort common men for piles of gold. What a great leader! Please keep it up Lo! Blotted copybook with corruption Oh! Lord of karma Shade is now on our...

Quote: "There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.” – Mahatma Gandhi In wars, innocent lives are the cost, Their homes, their dreams, forever lost. Starvation strikes, food laid to waste, Leaving many hungry in its haste. In silent shadows where hunger hides, Aching emptiness, sorrow abides. Whispers in the...

I Am Hungry
I am hungry, Like a matchbox girl in December, Threadbare and falling apart, Shivering as I stand alone. I am hungry, Like a teenage girl in front of a mirror, Pinching her skin and breathing in, Begging herself to be pretty. I am hungry, Like a stray dog in a blinding city, Fighting for scraps amongst my kind, Hoping to make it one more night. I will...

Premium Member More Or Less
We tend to give a little more to the little ones. Nonetheless, it's not a matter of belittlement. The lesson in lessness, is not a matter of nothing less nor nothing else nor is it about starving to nothingness. Nevertheless, it's more or less about giving a little less in little bits of littleness, in meager, measly morsels, that just suffices and leaves one just less than...

Storm of Starvation
Food shortage looms again the world over; as war in Ukraine threatens wheat supply! Globe faces the hurricane of hunger due to hypersonic missiles that fly! Modern weapon’s devastating power lets both enemies and civilians die. The rain of bullets coming from the gun never lets mankind eat beneath the sun!...

Twelve Swear To Not Again Money Lend
A praised righteousness is made to end, Twelve swear to not again money lend, The First, to often penury pretend, The Second, to always for himself fend, The Third, not even his next of kin tend, The Fourth, starvation of beggars shall extend, The Fifth, a dying visitor back home send, The Sixth with all market prices contend, The Seventh, to philanthropy never...

Wrong Passion
The wet arid desert, the satisfied starvation. she rides on this infected horse for long, praying it never stops running, she prayed, into this unknown pit, the farther she goes. She gasps for an optical lens, did not find, only it handles. She looked for this, seeking her wings true nature, yet all she sees is opaque vision embedded in chaos. When...

Starvation
I'm waiting for that moment, that feeling to take over me. I'm dying for the day when I can no longer speak. I know it's gonna come, when I'm on my knees, screaming for a chance of death. My heart beating wildly in my chest. It's ravenous, crying. telling me to give in. Why am I trying to fight it? Why can't I leave...
