"HUNGER"

Eclipsed look
Shadows beneath eyes
Legs blue with cold
Lack of apricity
Walked to places
Where shadows dwell...

Scarlet light flickers
On the midnight roads
In market square
Where beasts roam
Hunting deers
Whose spirit is dead...

Head like battle ground
Hot, violent and chaotic
Silent cries of heart unheard
As tears pricked her eyes...

Soul elsewhere fled
Body wrestled
To fulfill someone's greed
From hunger to save the child!

Only the hungry knows
What is hunger!!!
