Killing Hunger

Famine has lent a scrawny
Build to people’s agony
Of being constantly hungry
They search, vainly, for sustenance that cry:

Killing hunger is a crime

Of conscience for food is plentiful
If shared, not horded in a full
Contingent of warehouses where gruel
Is hidden from the poor, while for the fanciful

Killing hunger is a rhyme

For each individual to recall
For each crumb means a loss of a ball-
Room of people daily who have none but fall
Groveling for a pittance to call

Killing hunger is a crime

Of outstanding proportion
For man’s compassion
Has died with the materialization
Of the individual needs before population

Killing hunger is a rhyme

That never ends, a cycle of obsession
Survival of the Ego before orchestration
Of growth for all that leads to destruction
Of cries and perspiration

Killing hunger is a crime
With no reason or rhyme.
