A growl here another there
The whole system in anguish
Oh the noise, unbearable noise
Supplies are running low!
Feed us! Feed us!

The message is sent to the mind
The stomach feels abnormal
And the rest of the body awkward
Energy is rationed
Muscles start to weaken
The laughter and smiles cease

Hunger kills good nature
Hunger turns into annoyance
Annoyance into anger
Anger into a cry of relief
The cry brings food
Food brings calm
Calm brings sanity
