A Warning

I announce a warning and reminder,
Posing a new question,
A simple statement of elegance,
Once ago, it was never said.
I fear him who gave this slogan,
For he lived in this world and never died,
He forgot a soldier’s story to his life,
His destiny never was communicated
So his other-half became a tragedy
Just as laughing denied success to higher bureaucrats;

I assuaged the hunger long ago in history,
Hungry animals collect all gold,
Fading into light and darkness,
Guessing my foreign ideals then donating
My organs.
Hunger is guessing me and my soul.
He gave me a warning but I did not listen.
