JEREMIAD: "HOUSE OF HUNGER" BY MALIVS

What find of a house is this?.
You can't call it home.
Nor can you call it a safe place.
lt's just a house.
The house is hungry.

ln this house of hunger.
There is no love at all.
There is no peace at all.
There is no togetherness at all.
lt's the house of hunger.

The father always finds a reason to fight with his wife.
The mother always beats the children for no reason.
The children are fighting with the cats.
ln this house of hunger.
There is no peace at all.

It seems like this house is allergic to peace.
Like it allergic to love.
lt's allergic to oneness.
To togetherness.
lt's the house of hunger.
Have never seen such a house ever before.
Which you can't even call a home.
The house of hunger.

l ask myself what kind of a house is this?.
Where can you find such a house?.
There is no other house like this one.
The house of hunger.

The poet persona laments over starvation in a home. The family begins to develop misunderstandings at frequent times because of the financial inconvenience.
