The Feeding


Is it feeding time again?
         So soon, so soon
         So soon, so soon

Are you really hungry; is it really time?
Is your last digestion even done?

Glutton…Glutton, you pig
Stuffing-stuffing, again & again
You scream to feast, you cry to eat
Were the warnings right; are you truly a beast?

You curl your talons, sharp and straight
Saliva drips your mangled face
Heartbeats race as plate’s erased
It’s frightening to see
         The remains of a years harvest rest at your feet

Is it a case of metabolism notched too high?
Or is it a case of pure hunger, living deep inside?

How to quench; how to stop?
An appetite that rests for none
And I fear what shall become
When the rations end,
I cringe to be around you then
