Food is a gift from God.

Large intestine walls grumbling waiting for water.

Grinding and quarreling with each other for nutrients.

Kicking and stumbling over themselves- small intestines.

Thrusting pinches and punches to one another.

The internal war of hunger.

Hunger’s grip is so tight to jumble.

Her presence takes away life like murder.

Handcuffing everyone forcing humility.

The banging sounds that emit like thunder.

The hunger battle.

Endless rhymes with no notes it hums loudly.

No rest or peace leaving food thoughts to ponder.

For some, the pitches are close to the beats of a drum.

Unmeasurable every breathing soul will wonder.

The hunger crisis.

The depths of how it folds no one can sum.

Digging deep it’s hard to tell when it will slumber.

Sticking strong to the stomach more than gum.

Calling for food from beyond the yonder.

The hunger conflict.

Only food can satisfy some think?

Yes, for seconds it rests after the swallow.

It wails its boring sound hours again.

Only God’s life can end the hunger and thirst cycles.
