Three basic human needs:
Bread, rags, and roof.
Bread—
The bread I eat these days tastes different.
I have forgotten the grim face of hunger.
Rags—
I dress better than I did long ago
But the greed in my heart still goes naked.
Roof—
I live in a grand and high building these days
From where people appear stunted.
