Weak, nauseated and dazed

Apathetic, depressed death on its way

Muscles became cadaveric remains

Delusional, almost unconscious brain

Infection spreads over my body

Frail organism, no antibodies

Hypothermia, constant shivering

Confused, my motor skills are failing

No escape now!

I should thrive, not die from starvation

Humanity's worst scourge, starvation

My body eats itself to survive

Every lasting cell burnt to keep me alive

My old tactic of sleeping to forget

Won't work this time, this is my deathbed

I'll eat grass, rocks and sand

Or whatever at the reach of my hand

Anything, so my guts won't hurt

And my heart keeps pumping my impoverished blood

No escape now!

I should thrive, not die from starvation

Humanity's worst scourge, starvation

Just one more in a billion starving like me

Systematically killed by the system's greed

Infection spreads over my body

Frail organism, no antibodies

Hypothermia, constant shivering

Confused, my motor skills are failing

No escape now!

I should thrive, not die from starvation

Humanity's worst scourge, starvation
