Infinite Journey

This morning it woke up,
starving for fresh meat,
fresh and nonetheless tasty.

It wants it so bad,
but can barely understand ,
that it can't have it all.

How sad it is, to find it out
and express it here.

The journey is way too long,
they say it gets heavier to feast,
with time.

How can it find some resolve ?

Author's Note

Try to find out what "it" means.

You? Me? Humanity? I don't know :p. Good poem, though. I like that you didn't say what "it" was so it gives the reader the oppurtunity to fill in the blank. Makes the poem more fun to read that way. One advice, though. Some lines are confusing, like "the journey is way too long". If it's important to the story, make it more clear. Was the purpose of your story the hunger, or the journey? Does the journey have something important to do with the "it"? Then, maybe you should state it in the beginning of the poem, not just in the title.
Otherwise, great poem. It's fun and short. Loved it!

Thank you for the comment. I must admit that this is the first time that I publish my work.Your review will obviously play a role in my future work.

Just noticed I haven't answered your question. The journey is due to the hunger. It -> hunger - > journey. :D

I think 'it' is the human race, but I also think it has something to do with knowledge and how people are so curious. It seems to me that the main reason humanity does anything is to figure out why we exist, and whatever else we can about this universe. We think the answers are out there for us to find, that we can know it all, but we can't. And until we realize that ew can't have it all, we won't find any resolve...or at least that's my take on it. This is a very interesting poem :)

That's the creativity I am looking for. I hadn't thought so deep myself!!

Thanks for sharing!

I had a good laugh from this comment .
Thanks, really :)

[MrKnowAll]

Just have to mention that it's also very true what you say, without any question.

Uh-huh.
Might help you figure out what "it" actually is..

[MrKnowAll]

Funny thing is that I know what it is, I just don't share so people will be creative.

Oh, I see.
