Hunger

by Dr. Jaipal Singh



He saw two rag-pickers Fighting over who found it first - The raw and stale bread loaf. Their mindless strife stopped And turned into a disappointment When the stray street dog Taking advantage of their quarrel Ran away with the bread loaf... He realized from that episode Perhaps the hunger of belly Is much stronger in life Than the hunger of heart.
