Hunger Vol 2



Great as you claim,but not an erstwhile treasure,
Greener future for us, Oh! what a worldwide pressure,
Good tidings from us and with you no more pleasure,
Guided by food and water,so embark on an endless leisure.

Eagle eyed, you claim the world to have scanned,
Extemely not,thus by man you ought to be banned,
Escape into imagination,for how long in reality have you spanned?
Everything of you could erode if Agric was properly manned.

Rest and masacre no more Oh! you merciless sinstre soul,
Recoil your spirits we command for we will pay you no toll,
Refuge we do seek from your dreadful treacherous sole,
Remembered are we always of Pyongyang, a sister of Seoul.
