Tummy rumble
Chatting sounds
Siren whining
Very loud

Empty tummy
Inside no hungry
No food welcome
Appetite empty.

Food, food, food!
Tummy declares
But food no good
To contain big fears.

A glass of gin
A slender bottle
All cells ignite
Sprouting wings throttle.

Fear falls asleep
Spirit meets the stars
Body dives down deep
Mind is lost to Mars.

Feet fly repulsed
By Earth’s vibration
Head shrieks in pain
Seeking salvation.

Heart pounds shaken
Spirit hides
Soul to awaken
Body declines.

Hallowed be thy name
Where art thou please?
Face looks like garbage!
What is this disease?

Hail the bottle
May the agony die
Extinguish all emotion
Men never cry.

Tummy rumble
No good for food
Trembling fingers
Must eat at school.

Food on the table
Fingers reach out
Inners are shrinking
Lower lip starts to pout.

Rotten teeth arrest
Chewing can’t commence
Siren whining
Body in distress

Empty tummy
But nobody hungry
No food welcome
Appetite empty.

Food, food, food!
Tummy declares
But food no good
To contain big fears.

A glass of gin
A slender bottle
All cells ignite
Sprouting wings throttle.

Fear falls asleep
Spirit meets with the stars
Body drops and slumps
Mind is lost to Mars.

Feet fly repulsed
By Earth’s vibration
Head shrieks in pain
Seeking salvation.

Heart pounds shaken
Spirit hides
Soul is to awaken
But body declines.

Hallowed be thy name
Where art thou please?
Face looks like garbage!
What is this disease?

“Take me to the bottle
Or I may die”
Extinguish all emotion
Mustn’t cry.

Tummy rumble
No good for food
Trembling fingers
No time to brood.

Food on the table
Fingers reach out
Inners are shrinking
Lower lip starts to pout.

Rotten teeth arrest
Chewing can’t commence
Throat chokes on bread
Swig of drink is best.

Gut and sight don’t meet
Far apart from mind
Hunger, a mean feat
Killer of humankind.
