No Appetite

when all ya have is nothing

No Appetite

We have no appetite

We have a taste 

That's all

We have no hunger

But a death wish

Now dont tell me 

That ain't cool

You got some kind 

Of faith

And you use it

As a rule

God bless your soul

We got no appetite

We have a taste that's all

I can’t explain exactly why but this poem took me back to my days with my eating disorder. Talking of deeper things, indeed our wants and desires have become quite superficial nowadays. Yet there are those who have nothing, and are living on a death wish. Not very conducive for this world to grow.

thank you for considering these words my friend.. I hope those days are now but a recollection and you have become stronger for them. AGT's Neville

Your message grows in intensity as I reread it. I feel the chafing of having some self-righteous slob seemingly enforcing a "God takes care of everything" platitude instead of seeing desperation honestly and still having faith if there's anything left to feel (((NUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I could not have put your mark on these words any better Margie... many thanks and of course NUGs on their way to ya...... Neville :)

When there is a taste, there is a hope....a hope something delicious will still come to pass. Well said. Lydi**

If there is a taste, then there is something. Your lines Neville make me think of my Mum who has no taste, no appetite, no hunger., no faith and a death wish and yet she lingers on. Where there is a taste, the there is hope I would say.

then I am lost for words and also sorry to hear about your Mum.

Most might see emptiness and despair. I see it differently. Taste isn’t much, but it’s hope, hope our appetite will return... and our insatiable hunger for life. From nothing to something immeasurable perhaps starts with a taste.

Nothing wrong in having a different perspective sir... a taste of something often gives a good indication, but not always.. thank you for checking in and checking these words out.... Neville

We do seem to lack the desire of our passions and convictions, we're content with a taste of a thing.
Once consumed we think ourselves an expert on the subject. We become novice of life. Let's wake up our appetite and dig in.

Hello & good evening Cherrie... thank you for leaving your most welcome offering and thoughts upon the page these words of mine rest... Yes, sounds like a plan, let's dig in.... Neville
