Hunger and Thirst

The stinging of hunger

The rattling of batteries

The former is liquid

The latter is metal

Both kill

Hunger turns liquid into d-r-o-p d-r-o-p thirst

for power, oil, blood and water.

We lay clad in war-struck rags

d-r-o-p d-r-o-p d-r-o-p thirst of tingling

Sizzling hunger-viper enticing us

We are silently gaping at the sky

Imagining rain and bread

Our wide open eyes are protruding out of sockets

Civilized dicks take us for rides

They grow into skyscrapers

We all laugh in pleasure

A child giggles uranium

Few yards away

Kali has stripped naked

Protruding her dried tongue and wrinkled breasts.

Shiva beneath her feet is missing

He is awake

and has gone to fetch a can of Cola.
