Poem -

the hunger game

I have greed in me
relentless greed to know of things
I have no need to know and
There are sparks in me
these angry sparks that will not
grant me ease to laugh and anger
oh such anger wails
it screams at all the fruitless tales
of gods
and restless I, refuse to play this
game of life and light and day

for bleakness has been birthed
in me, I only feel futility and
greed and greed relentless
greed to know such things, this
fiercesomeย need to know

A very cogent, compelling write--and excellent writing. I certainly relate to much of it.

I wrote this down in a notebook. Not about this particular piece but an overall approach to your work: has hints of something dark in the background. This one stabs a little more bluntly than the subtlety usually conveyed in other poems I've read of yours.ย

Oh, yes, believe it M. We think about you when you're not here. ๐Ÿ˜† As for confirmation from Powers that be, well, be careful what you wish for. Some gods don't take so nicely to requests from lesser beings

You are right, this morning I woke up quaking, said 10 prayers kissed a bead sacrificed a fish from the pond above( the dog looked relieved) and took my comments down so it cannot be used in evidence in my life review. Phew. Do you think I've done enough

Beautiful poetry Marion, I will be greedy to its form, lusting over your words, consuming constant and vowel in frenzy attack. Reading out loud your poetry to the dead that haunt my 3 am.

I'd say it's a need not greed, powerful and as always I truly get every last word. Kudos. ๐ŸŒน

I'd say you are spot on Shirley...you understand completely.ย  It annoys me that whether religious or not there exists a percieved unspoken rule that one should not go too far ...you know...just in case.ย 
Think I maybe just broke a few rules ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜ƒ thanks so much my friend x

I know all about hunger .. and in its many forms .. here you appear to have captured a sizable slice & served it up to your disciples with a relish .. and for what its worth, I thirst for knowledge knowing full well I don't have the time to satisfy my own craving .. top notch ma'am .. xx

Shall your soul rest in your safe heaven... away from tales of gods and glory... away from all the mysteries and questions... away from anger and pain... away from all the lies...
I hope someday we all find a place like that... ๐Ÿป
