Food
We eat it
We need it
Is it a necessity?
Or is it less to be
As we crave it day and night
Our stomachs choose not to fight
But as we consume what most of us call love
It entices us like a star above
My stomach is bulging
As I continue to eat
Am I hungry?
Or is my mind sending signals of deceit
As I chew and chew
The greatness of food
My conscience tends to intrude
With horrifying thoughts of me being greedy
My tummy tends to be needy
