STARVATION

During the depression,

I fed myself to 3 starving children.

Evenly dividing myself between them.

One devoured the portions immediately.

Another stored much,and rationed.

The third,gave their share to others less fortunate.

I stayed with these children,for the rest of their lives.

The first,died shortly after.

Too dehydrated to produce tears of agony.

The next lived long,but the starvation lingered.

I left her swinging from a noose.

The last,died smiling...Dividing himself into portions,

to give to his starving children.

Unfortunately...

The depression never really ended.

Though we shall go on forever.
