Hunger! ! Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi
Hunger! !
When a person is hungry of flesh,
he may always look for bed,
when a person is hungry of food,
he will always look for work,
when a person is hungry of knowledge,
he may always look for books,
when a person is hungry of truth,
he may always look for mistakes,
when a person is hungry of cleanness
he will always look for dirt,
when a person is hungry of love,
he will always look for love, not hate..

The poem beautifully delineates the fact that the quest of man for various things will lead him to physical or intellectual pursuits or gains. It is only the love that can be attained through love. Very well written. Thanks, dear poet.
