OH! MY HARROWING,
WOLVISH AND ENDLESS HUNGER!
Yes, I munch and devour
at dawn, at noon and at night,
Oh! Yet my stomach
is ever loose and empty, never tight!
Alas! I am ever too
Hungry to be ever placated and satisfied,
Notwithstanding,
how often, how long and how much I am fed!
Yes, I bite and gulp
in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening,
The less my wolvish
Hunger is satiated, the more gluttonously I sting!
Oh! Foods are
shrunk at and scared of me, the unbeatably Hunger King
Alas! Wherever falls
my greedy gaze, it does ever only Hunger song sing!
Oh! I never fall
an easy prey to the Conscientious indigestion,
I am never pricked
and pinched an iota by Scruple’s compunction,
I am ever feeble
and emaciated, never a victim of detachment obesity
Even if I never
do exercises of maintaining restraints, or doing charity!
What else can I brashly
enlighten you about me, and my brazen Hunger?
The more I voraciously
guzzle, stretches endlessly longer my tongue of Hunger!
