The hungry heart
knows no start
or end to its needs

It does not know itself
And hence do not know what it wants,
so it devours it all

More of everything
every new bite of greed
creates an equal rise in hunger

Every injection of materialism
craves another and another
until no veins longer exist

And when it finally has
Devoured all what greed demanded

It is still empty and hungry

Screaming for more in an empty desert of its own creation
a wasteland of emotion

Owning all there is but
dying of an unknown thirst
alone hungry and catheterized
