If I quietly serve
In a world which men’s ego reserve
Would I be treated like I deserve?

Sleep, and I’ll sleep
My mood is bad, weep, and I’ll weep
Will they be so good as to the peace keep?
III
And if my children lie
On mats of dreams, would their thoughts
Buy their future ascension?

Like goats, we search for more
No matter how much we soar
Not even if gold, like rain, pour

I am life’s hungry animal
You know you are materials’ hungry animal
Yes, we are all needful hungry animals
None is exempted

You have a skill to express truth with your poetry; how truly we are ‘material’s hungry animals’!! Great job!

A world with mouths open and no one takes responsibility for that hunger. It’s no wonder that there are so many mouths that go hungry. I hate this. They want to cure so many diseases but this one. Life’s hungry animal will stay until we see this as a disease waiting to be cured
