My entry to hopehuggs@hopehuggs rhyming contest

I hope the why is answered by the revealing of the protagonist :-)

Why me?
Why am I denied?
When they have all they need.

Plates overflowing
Glasses brimming
I wonder at their greed.

My belly rumbles loud
And my cries
Don't raise a brow

Why me? I call out louder
But all they hear
Is my miaow.
