  • NOBLE POETRY  

  • I HUNGER

    No feed

    I cry

    No compassion

    I starve

    No love

    I am homeless

    I grow weak

    Darkness in my eyes

    My body can sometimes be motionless

    I get Dizzy

    Drinking water is fizzy

    Dirty and not pure

    The world seems to spin in my head

    Passerby’s just walk by and ignore

    It’s like I am not there

    I am homeless, but have dreams

    I just imagine, I am off the streets and living in a house

    Not sharing the streets with anyone not even a mouse

    Hunger sounding loud

    Stomach pains daily roar

     

    Not easy to smile when your homeless and hungry

    My tomorrows are always stuck on today of every moment

    Never a pause, but always with a cause

    No one knows the struggles until one feels it in reality

    I feel sick at times, but no medical care to remedy

    I could die on the streets

    Tormented full of bitterness

    Words of evil form within my tongue

    My shouts to the world in feed me, but stays on starve

    Rain falls feeling like a cleanse

     

    When it is cold, the Sun brings the warmth

    Never know where my tomorrow will become

    Lonely on the streets

    Nowhere to turn

    Eating garbage of food thrown away by people and restaurants

    It becomes competition between me and stray animals
    Homeless becomes a reality check being survival

    Hunger mounts heavy
    Holding steady

    All I can do is dream as that is all I have

    Maybe one day I won’t be homeless and have a hearty meal

    Who am I fooling?

    Homeless until

    Now it is just another day being welcomed on the pavement of life

    Hunger always on my mind

    Homeless nothing

    Walking

    Embracing in my own thoughts

    Pavement alone to nowhere.
