Gluttony

Gluttony

A Poem by L.shiva
"

Gluttony is not a secret vice. -Orson Welles

"
One fine evening, Gluttony met Poverty and Hunger
and they took a stroll down the lane,
Poverty told it's problem, Hunger cried of hunger,
Gluttony ate buttered popcorn while listening to their pain,

With tears in eyes Poverty raised the voice,
asked 'Why waste a lot when some don't have even a few? '
Hunger stumbled as it's stomach grumbled and made noise,
shrugged Gluttony for his mouth was too stuffed to argue.
