Hunger
by Roger Crique (Age: 52)
copyright 06-27-2005


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
I used to be hungry
Never knowing when was dinner
I used to be hungry, way back then, when times were leaner

I faced hunger, a constant on our table
Not Mother's fault
She just wasn't able

I longed for a loaf all for myself
Not just a little piece
So, I longed for wealth

Wealth for all
To end our hunger
I longed to be poor no longer

I wanted butter with my bread
And an endless supply of Continental Soup
I wanted my apples to be red

Now, I'm all grown up
I eat to my own demise
But I must say that hunger made me wise

I love food! When I was growing up we wern't poor but my dad was very strict and he made us stay in shape and we were only allowed to eat three meals a day also we would have to make our lunch for school and I would never remember so I would be starving after school and after basketball, vollyball or whatever I was doing at the time then I couldn't sleep all night because I was so hungery then I would sleep all day at school and wake up for athletics then come home and sleep can't sleep at night to tired in the morning to make my lunch rush to school and go to sleep. Then when I got older and ran away I really knew what hunger was and then when I started working I gained alot of weight and understood what my parents were trying to do and now I appreciate food very much, no matter what happens to me if I get to eat that day I had a very good day and in the last 3 wks I have had a very good day i'd say

I've slept on the ground, went without food and learned many lessons from the experience. I think the lessons could be taught in better ways, but they wouldn't be as vivid as living it! Try a piece of pie! Anthony
