Hunger Lives Within Us

Hunger Lives Within Us, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

a life we lead
without fuss
hunger lives
within us
ashes to ashes
dust to dust
iron in the soul
we rust
wondering
whether
it was the egg
or the child
that came first
inundation
rains cloud burst
yet dying on the streets
of thirst
celluloid dreams of
slum dog millionaire
our future life
accursed
