Bare cupboard,
bare shelves.
A hole in your stomach,
a hole in your heart.
Emptiness of poverty,
no prosperity.
You remember the blemished apple,
the restaurant meal too large to finish
the bread somewhat stale.
What you would give for even a morsel,
or a rotted bit.
In wealth there was waste,
recalled in your hunger,
Is this not Hell?
