Be thankful for
Food on your table
Might as well be
Your last meal
Eaten in peace

Meal ready on the table
Taking it for granted
No more on a full stomach
Being are told its enough

The reasons multiple
Nutritious intake to maintain
Good health and living
Might no more be coming

Might have an Icharus
Right in the midst
Need not snitch your presence
Could test the tolerance

Earn your bread
Best lesson ever
Passed on by elders
Knowing how much it matters

Dependence on others
Two square meals a day
Is the greatest curse
May or May not be a ruse

Never put the mind to it
Was always readily available
Empathy with the poor people
Led their lives yearning for that table

Getting rid of this
Mans greatest challenge
No one goes Esurient
Basic values forsaken

Getting used to it
Seems like the only fit
Not asking a luxurious Viand
Basic food now a demand
