Hunger

By man's hunger for power are many
Civilizations laid to waste
By his lust for love are relationships
Made and broken in haste

His hunger for wealth, it sows
Discord in a warm hearth
In our thirst for knowledge, do we
Plunder the pristine earth

Lucky then, that woman on the road
With a wailing infant on her breast
Doesn't have the will to hunger for
Anything more than a loaf of bread
