Poem by Waseeq Mohammad

​Hunger pain

Hungry for the rain
Hungry for the fall
Hunger for all
As the drops fill me with hope
I breathe a sigh of relief
I spot green growth underneath
my rumbling stomach disagrees
so I imagine the fruits of my labor
fruits that will deceive 
Hungry for the truth
Hunger rises up
Hunger and its pain
