The never ending hunger
For flesh
Cold, bare
On the floor
Babies surround her
Innocent
To what she has known
Gimmie gimme gimme
More more more
The egos consumption
A hungry look
For what’s next
What can take away
The pain
The longing
Of life unlived
The burning and aching
Of purpose
untouched
Potential squandered
In exchange for the promise
of safety
A prison
Give up your dreams
and I’ll give you mine
The American Dream
of endless hunger
Endless sacrifice
For nothing.
Greed replaces emptiness
Beauty, lost
Trees, dying
Sunsets, missed
Animals, abused
When will our eyes open
To all that we have
When will our illusion cease
When will the separation
Unite us
Will our consumption ever find completeness?
Satisfaction?
When is the crack big enough?
Pause-
When you walk down the grocery store aisle
See-
A world connected
Blood-
Lived for your taste buds
Food transformed
For your pallet
For your addictions
Earth dying at your feet
To Fill-
Your longing
