HUNGER

I have no boundaries…

I have an unusual equanimity;

The equality I possess is extraordinary.

The world over, I have no chosen pity;

Like death, I practice an unusual democracy.

Matters not to me who and where you may be;

I’m there in every city, state, or distant country.

There will always be a place for the likes of me;

I’ve survived in the best and poorest family.

I’m as old as time—still here ticking too;

Hey, get to doing what you need to do.
