Thanks God For The Food. Poem by SY Wong ...

Thanks God For The Food.



I believe we eat more than we need
things that we feed on
hardly we can resist.
Look around, the talk
is mostly about food.
Fantastic foods! Fantastic!
So many different kinds!
When we mix greed with our saliva
Food tastes even better.
But when we sleep, guilt comes to strangle.

Buying more than we need
Someone is hoarding, forgetfully.

Maybe, one day, we may not have enough to eat
A glutton cannot stop eating!
Too bad, bad planning.
Throwing away precious foods, sometimes.
There's enough to feed a truck full of people!

I used to tell others and remind them not to hoard
I'd say, This place is not war-torn.
We are not living in a flatten place!
Indirectly we are some prisoners-of-food

The agenda is to eat
_ a priority.

Thanks God for all the foods.
But never call another a glutton!
