The Taste Of Hunger

Hunger is in the look of a street urchin

Hunger is in the sadness of a child begging outside a school,

Hunger is in the despair of the daily labourer who returns home empty-handed,

Hunger is in the bereaving calf waiting for the cow 

Hunger is in the cry of a baby awaiting his mother,

Hunger was in the lifeless body lying at the crossroads,

Hunger is a spasm that teaches the lesson the hard way
