Hunger Games

by joseph santacruz   Jan 18, 2013


Spent to much time around the fire in the wrong camps
so the government says this hungry ex-camper gets no food stamps.
call me names , call me a sinner
but please dont call me late for my dinner.
So they said"Hey Joe!" try the food bank for starving cooks?"
I'll give it a try since not all bankers are thieving crooks (but some are)
I went to the food bank and was dumbfounded
no "interest" here and my hunger compounded.
Its said a closed mouth dosent get fed
all the good things at this foodbank went somewhere instead.
Im so hungry as my empty pot depicts
I had no idea of the food bank politics.
Through my stomachs the path to my heart
so from my vittles dont keep me apart.
I wasnt looking to get obese
but did not know whose palm to grease.
I think the managements hearts in the right place.
the dishonest clerk sent my food to his buddies face.
I know this foodbanks not going bankrupt
its just a few employees here are really corrupt.
I do not mean to sound ungrateful
I would just like an edible plateful.
Im sure its not what the contributors intends
that any thing good goes to clerks family and friends.
Waited two hours, how unfair this was
I feel like a boy who got a Barbie doll from Santa Claus.
This clerk had a pirate look that was very betrayable
He must have stolen half of what was available.
They gave me a large can of key lime pie fillin in prison would have been good for distilling.
Two cans of spaghetti sauce but no pasta
couldnt be (drank?) eaten by a munchie driven Rasta.
Something edible? Im sure this bank could spare it
besides I have no recipe for my other two items....peanut butter and carrots.
All of the time my hunger is mounting
this crooked food bank needs auditors and accounting.
I rather chew glass and eat roadkill
then eat this nasty fare that belongs in a landfill.
(its said if your hungry enough you will eat anything..not true!)
Maybe moving to Ethiopia would be nice
At least I would get a fair issue of beans and rice.
To say the least my food bank expierience downright sucked
I usually get kissed before I get *ucked.
