Late Night Thoughts

i've got rice

and it's not in my tummy
but its in this here paper box

i've got rice in my cupboard
why does that matter
well you've got people of color
hunger pains all over

the world's aching
and I can't hear their cries

over the sound of my rice...

fuck

i have no reason to cry
i'm fine

what was i thinking?
i'm fine
i'm eating my rice.

i'm no poet

But I got rice.
