I Ask for What

This is a poem about what (the English version).

I ask for what

for what we open cans for

for what we open doors for

for what I shoot

squirrels in the face

and blow their little heads off for

you offer a dog some food

but it goes to the dead

squirrel for food

you offer a woman 

some bread

but it goes to a steak 

then when hunger strikes 

these things will come to you 

when nothing is left

after dark

and you ask what for

Your word choice makes the poem flow well and helps with the overall tone. My favorite line from this piece is " then when hunger strikes / these things will come to you / when nothing is left / after dark / and you ask what for". It sounds very beautiful
