HUNGER BEFRIENDED ME

Marie A.Reid 1963 (Portmore)

Free verse
HUNGER VISITS ME DAILY NOW , BRINGING  SEVERE
PAIN AND CRAMPS.

ONLY A TRUE FRIEND WOULD BE SO LOYAL BEING WITH  ME  24/7.

THE SOUNDS ARE LENGHTY
AND BUNDLED WITH  GROWLS...

IT SEEMS  A FIERCE TIGER
LIVES WITHIN.


NO ONE WOULD EVER BELIEVE IN
THIS DAY AND AGE HUNGER
IS STILL "A THING".

WATER THE LIQUID
SAVIOUR . TRICKS THE SYSTEM
AND FILLS  THE VOID BUT
ONLY FOR A MOMENT.

HUNGER YOU ARE NOT THE
FRIEND I NEED...

PLEASE FEED ME!

MY BELLY NEEDS FOOD
 *FULL SPEED AHEAD*.
