Yearning

Have you yearned for anything, do you know how it feels?

You are hungry and starving, you’ve gone without meals;

You can see food displayed; you can see people eating,

The need is so intense, that you’ve no time for waiting.

All your life you have slept on the dusty streets, so you crave,

For a soft bed, a fan overhead, the luxuries for which you rave;

You may hanker for fame, a posh car, or a palatial house,

Being deprived, you have always nurtured an unexpressed grouse.

You want to be at the summit, but your destination is too far;

It's beyond your reach, you may only yearn, crave and desire!
