Feast on Hunger
There is a tree
no flowers or seeds,
but with foliage so rich
as it has no needs.
I was fat
and you fed me,
I was in prison
but you celebrated my sin,
I had everything that I needed
and you gave me more,
I wanted it to stop
but your answers were not to my questions.
There is a tree
that flowers in need,
not in abundance
of over-supply and greed.
I was fat
but you knew my emptiness
I was inside my prison
and you took me deeper
I had everything
but you knew I didn't
I wanted it all to stop
but you gave me answers before I asked.
Feast on hunger
Rejoice in want
Hide your strength
Grow your need.
