Chakula

(Dedicated to those who can read the signs of times)

Want for chakula and more want …

Hunger pangs without being hungry

Greed!

Thirsting for more food, drink and pleasure

Craving!

For food, drink and pleasure

Sometime, just the notion of it

Craving for power!

To make all humanity bow at the snap of your fingers

Such a craving!

For means to sustain that POWER

Hunger pangs leading to grab, grab, and more grab!

Money grab, sex grab, land grab and more grab!

A drunken feeling of emptiness

Void!

In spirit, deeds, relations and all life’s endeavors

An empty feeling of want and more want…

Selfish pursuit for more pleasure, power and ACCUMULATION

Opulence!

Cry my beloved country

For birthing this monstrous pursuit for chakula among the least hungry

A land of abundance that feeds not its hungry bodies and minds!
