A World Without Worries

A world without worries Where...how come? Only man without feet Feels not the torrid earth Or child without nostril Breathe not the toxic air. The world...a war Between the needy and needs In the cage ring of life The mad fight-a thought Arming the hoe with stone Against drought The battle is lost! A world of words Porridge of hopeful phrases In several dishes of religion Their sweetness cures no hunger Only an after-earth nutrient Forsakes us in a world of famine.
