Hunger
The hungry lion a long since eaten
All of his efforts to feed were beaten
So now his famishing at its peak
His strength, his agility getting weak
He scrambles desperately for meat to fry
But he has lost his touch
So even the ravens fly
Away from his scattered hunting approach
He can’t even catch a roach
Desperation makes him clumsy
For he is starving, he is very hungry
Zebras see him coming a mile away
The lion is on the prowl they say
So to their trees and caves they stay
Till the dawn of a new day
when the hunter has given up its prey
a hungry soul cant see its eyes
a hungry soul carries ties
of empty knots in its midst
it is driven not led
it is devouring not fed
its lays down in hard places not bed
it wears costumes of façade not robes of joy
wishing and hoping is its new toy
scraping and scratching to be seen
for love red and money green
malnutrition soul can’t digest
the meat of the word in its chest
choking on the nutritious meal
that they used to be ready to steal
away to consume
in the corner of any room
now it has lost its appetite
now they won’t even take a bite
hungry soul get help quick
thirsty one take a sip
one at a time bit by bit
your passion, your joy
god will restore it
take a sniff of the feast prepared
taste and see don’t be scared
god is good, it is so
won’t you come to his table today
before you starve and you wither away
god is good it is so
if you didn’t know now you know
