HUNGRY SHE NEVER EVER WAS

SHE KEPT EMBRACING HER CHILD..

THE FEAR OF LOOSING MOTHERHOOD ECHOED LOUD AND LOUDER..

IT WAS LATE AFTERNOON WHEN SHE STOOD HOLDING HER CHILD TIGHTER..

BENEATH A TREE STOOD WERE SHE AND HER CHILD..

TEARS RUSHING DOWN WITH MIGHTY STRENGTH..

HAD NO EFFECT ON HER ALREADY SWOLLEN EYES..

DRUNK WAS SHE BUT A SORROW DRUNKER..

LIFE MEANT DESERTED WITHOUT HER ONLY CHILD..

HER HUSBAND DEAD..

DEAD ALL HER DREAMS SHE CHERISHED..

TO PROSPER, TO LIVE HAPPY..

NOW SHE WORKED UNDER THE NOON SUN..

BLED HER HANDS, SO DID HER EYES..

TO EARN A DAILY BREAD..

FOR HER ONLY STARVING CHILD..

HUNGRY SHE NEVER EVER WAS..!!
 

 

 

STOOD SHE FOR A PENNY..

PEOPLE STARING HER WITH DISGUST..

TOLERABLE WERE THEIR SLANGS..

INTOLERABLE WILL BE HER CHILD'S WOULD BE DEATH..

SHE RAN HASTILY FROM WOMEN TO MEN..

FROM CHILD TO OLD..

INVALID WERE HER REQUESTS..

MEANINGLESS HER URGES..

FAKE WERE HER CRIES..

FLED SHE TO THE GARBAGE BIN..

THRESH IT ALL DOWN..

SCROUNGEDSHE THE WHOLE MESS..

SCRAPPED SHE THE ROTTEN BREAD..

SHE LASTLY GOT HER CHILD TO EAT SOMETHING..

AND..

HUNGRY SHE NEVER EVER WAS..!!
