All He Wanted (A special Little Boy)

A pill a day
Was his only hay
A sip of water
Be all he could handle

He never knew
The flavor of food
He desired the taste of
Burger and fries

One faithful day
He ate and ate
A slice of cake, burgers and fries
Until his heart was satisfied

Full contentment
We take for granted
But as for him
He sleeps in death at the age of ten

I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
