    "Hungry"

    "Gaze into faces,
    get behind eyes.
    From so many places,
    fed so many lies.
    All satiated,
    starving for more.
    Emaciated,
    nauseating encore.
    Imbalanced, heavy scales,
    bearing unjust weight,
    all who would reign must fail,
    policy is bait.
    Only one more swallow,
    deep, filthy well.
    Thirst always follows,
    hunger's dinner bell.
    And, so we take the mark,
    clones stamped in red;
    sheep left in the dark,
    bones, bleached and bled.
    But, still I will rage
    defying gravity;
    incarcerated in this cage,
    I choose to be free.
    For I will not surrender,
    I will not kneel,
    to the Great Pretenders,
    serving the next meal.
