Hunger

Guttural longing uncontrolled
Both night and day
Throughout the world

Searching, longing, growing old
Seeking protection
From the cold

Hunger for the missing peace
Of humanity's
Loving grace

Reaching out
But touching none
Alone again when day is done

Hunger for a loving touch
Some reprieve
From the bitter cup

Just when all the hope
Runs dry
Loving hearts receive the cry

Mouths are fed
Hearts are mended
Differences aside now all are blended

Hunger no more dictates fate
Love unites
The human race
