A man in Ethiopia
eats it and lives
to till again the tortured soil
in the forlorn hope
of a bland subsistence
A man in Scotland
who could pick up his phone
and have a van load
of delicacies
delivered to his door
Picks up a rope
and hangs himself
It isn't easy to understand
why a man in great need
clings to life
and a man with no apparent need
takes his life
It is said - "A man cannot live on bread alone"
And it would be reasonable to suppose
he considered the supermarket to have nothing
to comfort the torment
of his hungry soul.
