Good piece, simple, efficient and effective. That's how all writing should be.

Bravo.

i didn't mind the last stanzas, though in my opinion, if you could twist it out and make the bit about losing children to the toilet the ending it would be much stronger.

^is one of the strongest pieces of literature i've ever read.

i think the last stanza ends it well, but the parts before that are tons better,
good work

Do you need the last stanza? I don't know...
But I like. And my hunger is that little bit more sated.
