Do you hanker
While it spreads
Like a canker
Within your soul
Sending ripples
Of unease
That ricochet
Never to cease
Incubating
Absorbing
The starving embryo
Grows
In need
In want
A time to gestate
A time to be reborn
The hungry ghost
Cannot be appeased
With stories
Of conformity
If not now, when
If not you, then who
It's not later
It's not them
