From The Bottom Of My Stomach Each growl is a reminder of the state That the economy is in lately The rent and bills suck up most of the budget Leaving very little change for food As I sit on my couch imagining a bowl of ramen with bok choy I shudder at the prospect of going hungry another day As my hands shake from a lack of fuel On TV, those with privilege lecture us to cut back Yet gorge themselves on overpriced wine and beef I’m sure that my stomach can survive on virtue signalling Hunger solved, amen to the rich and elite, As I search my couch for loose change Praying that I have three dollars To rid me of this stomach pain. Bio: K.G. Munro is a poet and author who has been published in hundreds of journals across eight different countries. She is currently writing a novel and is about to release a poetry book.
