Horror of Hunger
Hunger's pangs, a universal cry
For food, for love, for a gentle sigh
In fields, in temples, on highways wide
Empty bellies, hearts full of pride
From David's bread to disciples' grain
Hunger's fire burns, a driving pain
In lockdowns, in wars, in darkest night
Hunger's shadow looms, a constant fight
Mother Teresa's heart, a love so true
Feeding souls, as well as bodies anew
A hunger deeper, a void so vast
Only love and God can forever last
Let us feed, let us love, let us share
For in giving, our own hunger's repaired
And in the silence, a whisper's heard
"Our hearts are restless, until they rest in God."
