Never Enough

Jerry Reynolds

 

From a cage in their spirit
Bursts a rage of swallows
Wolfing everything in site
While still in flight.

Though great the trying
Hungry can’t be served
Not for lack of caring-
Can’t satisfy the birds.

      We cant feed the hungry because we can’t satisfy the rich.

      Some people are never satisfied, or is it birds? Insatiable appetites, or is it desires? a real mind bender Jerry. - Phil A.

      Food for thought feedeth not the hungry belly.

      Having read these words long after my supper and while waiting for breakfast, they really carried a hefty punch and hit home hard ...
