Hunger

Hunger visited me at 2am

Drilling through my inner bits

Hunger took me on a long ride

Journeying through the long cold night

Hunger fed me a bitter pill

That made me groan and whine

Hunger made a slave out of me

Whipping at will and claiming lord

Hunger stole my joy

And brought tears to my eyes

Hunger made me a beggar

Yearning for food from anywhere

Hunger stole my birthright

And made me lose my mind

Hunger made the day seem short

With an ever unending night
