Empty Heart

BY Christiane Greif x ILLUSTRATION Lukas Wiehler

I ́m hungry! Give me bread I ́m hungry! 

I buy a car, a castle, a plane, I ́m hungry! 

I have gold, and diamonds, and beautiful friends, I ́m hungry! 

I make them sing my song, my friends and my enemies, I ́m hungry! 

At night a tattered man knocks at my door, I give him bread. 

I leave my home,
My feet feel cold earth. 

My hands are sore
from digging the soil and nursing the sick. 

My friends have wheelchairs, and scars.
they ́re children, grandmothers, dreamers, and fools. 

We laugh and sing with the wind and the birds, I listen to their hearts,

I ́m at peace.
