Food for the body
I know of men, who do not have enough,
Lacking food and drink, their life is rough
Day in, day out they struggle for food
There is no time for any other good
Food for the ego
I know of men who have enough food and drink
So they have time for something else to think
Their egos are hungry for money, power and fame
Getting more, being restless, an endless game
Food for the soul
I know of men who are contented with how they live
They focus on soul and never cease to give
To give love and support, perform acts randomly kind
They are the ones who have at any time peace of mind
Exactly you have said, some are dying for want of food and some are dying for an endless game. The third one can save the above two.
You wrote the man-kind strength and weakness into an open mind poem. You are telling the truth in our endless-greed in sleek way and become comprehend-able by the reader. Excellent! ! !
