My Insignificant Snack

Read letters to the left of the word (red) from "a" down to "y" then repeat for the word (blue)!

===========================================================
With very little knowing and harmless intention, a(red) s(blue)nack will tide me over til’ dinner

You should not be hasty, nor should you be satiety, my d(red)ad a(blue)dmits this and my 
mouth should be thinner

The marketplace is full of u(red)nwrapped d(blue)elights, that will satisfy idol time in 
boarding

Father also says my hunger deepens as my groomed dinner cheapens because I l(red)ay 
i(blue)n hiding I’m hoarding

HE knows what I need and shuns what I want t(red)o s(blue)how what I deed to nuns what I 
hant

Weep moans as I feed but none e(red)aten t(blue)hought               Deep groans as I bleed 
but none neaten fought 

This snack could not, what I dreamt it would r(red)eally i(blue)nvoke commodious cover with 
nothing a hoax

My Daddy was right should I vomit or choke should I promise to y(red)oke c(blue)an I 
lawlessly coax

 My daddy says NO, but HE still loves me, HE just says it, and then it is so 
===========================================================


~This piece is drawn into true essence with the vacillating grouping of
letters; entities separated by colours red and blue (which are in parentheses because there 
is no colour in this program).  This will truly
endow the understanding of this piece when collected after the first
read and then at least two more readings as the ambiguity of chosen
terminology unfolds respectably even within the contents of each line.
