And it eats them alive

The barely living die

Forever damned to hell

A ghastly human shell

Roiling sea of sand

Crashes bones upon the land

Skeletons crumble away

No man or god will save

And the love dies

As starvation thrives

Ivory towers scraping heaven

Only the rich will get in

Hunger

And the city drones on

Rain comes with the grey dawn

Busy lives pace down the streets

Signs flicker and hinges creak

From beneath an awning's shade

Water's soaked the rest he's made

Wrapped in newspapers his bed

Another hungry man is now dead

And the love dies

As starvation thrives

Ivory towers scraping heaven

Only the rich will get in

Hunger
