In the depths of our bellies, a rumble begins to rise
A growl that echoes through, the hollows of our eyes
A pang that gnaws and claws, a craving that won't subside
A reminder of our humanity, where hunger resides

It's a feeling that's primal, a need that's hard to ignore
A yearning for sustenance, that we can't hide anymore
A cry from our bodies, for nourishment and for might
A call to satiate, the emptiness of night

But hunger's not just physical, it's emotional too
A longing for connection, for love that's true
A search for fulfillment, that goes beyond the plate
A desire to be seen, to be heard, to participate

In the darkness of hunger, we find a spark of hope
A chance to rediscover, the beauty of a simple scope
A meal shared with others, a moment to unwind
A taste of community, that leaves our hearts and bellies aligned

So let us acknowledge, the growl within our soul
And reach out to each other, to make each other whole
For in the shared experience, of hunger and of need
We find a common humanity, that indeed we all can feed.
