A prisoner, hungry, craving for a piece of loaf to feed

A prisoner, hungry, craving for a piece of loaf to feed, 

The key to his freedom lied near, escalated his greed.

But his hunger surpassed his wish to set himself free, 

As he chose the loaf, beside which remained the key. 

Nothing in the world can satisfy a hungry but food, 

No matter how hard you entice him, even freedom he'll exclude.
