Once Hungry always Hungry

As I sat down under the mango tree with my peers in the Ugandan sun we talked about how it would feel like to live a life with no hunger and starvation, the moment I looked up the tree everyone asked me what did you see? I said.. "I looked up imagining if a Mango would fall down from up above us because am hungry!" It was so funny because we all knew we had had the last mangoes this tree had given and now we had to wait till the new buds flourished into new mangoes... Snap.. we were doomed! It would take months to get ripe juicy mangoes again..
It beats my understanding how a land filled with all beauty and resources would have us prowling through the forest floors hungry and the rest of the world looked at Africa as a cursed land but yet every one of them Rocks the "diamond bracelets, watches, earrings, and all the bling bling you could imagine.. even in the mouth! Jeeez..!
You have to see me in person before things go wrong in your thoughts.. I have never been worried about my looks at all ...then I happened to come to America... WTF! people just can't stop worrying about their bodies , boobs, asses, noses, tummies and you can name it... dieting, diet this diet that OH MY GOD.. bless me because am Freaking out on this one.. I still don't worry about whether am skinny or whatever you might think.. to me Satisfaction is the only key to prove your hot body wrong.. besides I could eat all the food I can and still have no change to my size why because " I just eat to live , I don't eat to eat..." mark the difference and think about it with a passion.
All in all my hunger for knowledge never ceases yet still I don't over step my boundaries , my hunger to make good music never stops but truth is the generation doesn't want to listen to struggle, truth or reality but they would choose fantasy in a heart beat!
My Father told me one thing.."Face Your Worst Fear and know that you are your worst Enemy" so when I walk up to you and I smile with a glow and you give me a half hearted fake smile.. I will tell you "Be Happy". Why? simply because in the back of the mind of a half hearted smile are feelings clouded with judgement and ill thoughts..
If you are not feeling me I understand... because I know you probably would understand more about my hunger if I appeared on the front page of the "FEED THE CHILDREN" magazine holding out my plate with my rib cage probing out of my withering flesh...
Get Your Mind right..."Am Hungry!
Yours Truly
