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.

    After reading it four times I realized that I am a simple man, lacking understanding. Can you enlighten me?

      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 ...
