Starvation

Weak, nauseated and dazed Apathetic, depressed death on its way Muscles became cadaveric remains Delusional, almost unconscious brain Infection spreads over my body Frail organism, no antibodies Hypothermia, constant shivering Confused, my motor skills are failing No escape now! I should thrive, not die from starvation Humanity's worst scourge, starvation My body eats itself to survive Every lasting cell burnt to keep me alive My old tactic of sleeping to forget Won't work this time, this is my deathbed I'll eat grass, rocks and sand Or whatever at the reach of my hand Anything, so my guts won't hurt And my heart keeps pumping my impoverished blood No escape now! I should thrive, not die from starvation Humanity's worst scourge, starvation Just one more in a billion starving like me Systematically killed by the system's greed Infection spreads over my body Frail organism, no antibodies Hypothermia, constant shivering Confused, my motor skills are failing No escape now! I should thrive, not die from starvation Humanity's worst scourge, starvation
