A NAMELESS HUNGER
A nameless hunger
consumes the world
devouring all—
Claiming children,
blossoms, along with morsels
of pure light.
This nameless hunger
also motivates humanity to
invent, build, and imagine…
It is the center of a vortex
that spins, sweeping
the strong along with the weak
It demands that we marvel
at its hunger,
having passed through
— Abraham Menashe
