Behind Hungry Eyes (Day 22)

Don't look at me
Like I'm starving
So bad, that I'd
Steal the very
Piece of bread
Off your plate
And run off
I'm poor, no doubt
And have no bread
On my plate
But behind these
Dry skin and bones
Is the self-respecting
Man I am.

Powerful! Like the words has taken a disguise of a gun and would kill the very person who would disagree with the thought you mentioned. Amazing!
