Hunger indicates lack.
Hunger for anything, really,
Tells us we are incomplete,
Our anxiety requires some state
In order to be at ease.
This constant
Unease is the root of invention,
The cause of civilization.
But humans hunger
For what result?
Temporary satisfaction
And then on to the next
Quest.
And so it goes in constant
momentary aspiration-frustration.
Religion assuages some
Love can too.
Yet the heart of this matter
Is even more mysterious:
We hunger to cast off
Our human form,
To become
Someone else, something else.
Transformation is the end game.
We are sick of being human,
We have exhausted our possibilities.
