It’s a choice
This decision to go hungry
To let belly lie empty
throat unwetted
plates abandoned
stove unheated
bread unbroken
A privilege
Seldom recognized
A luxury
Of affluence
And leisure
Alhamdulillah
Alhamdulillah
For the option of hunger
Astaghfirullah
Astaghfirullah
For the thought
That a few chosen days
Can teach me anything
Of uninvited hunger
