Diana's Approach To Famine (For Amy's Contest)

Hunger is Rampant, children in jeopardy Zeus is dismayed, I must take aim quickly So many creatures, resources abound Sacrifices to be made, food must be found With hollowed eyes, gaunt infants implore An attack on famine, I declare war Let not one more night pass without food To select a source, I must act shrewd I scour the plains, survey the cattle Gently they graze, no provocation to battle Perhaps it is best to turn my swift arrows To greed in halls of wealth so hollow Who’ll be the first to offer a donation Dare I attack corrupt corporations Take my first shot at wealthy who waste Use their money to give children a taste Of life as it should be, natural order The food chain’s bottom, the greedy hoarder Those who defy Diana the hunter Should be the first to die from hunger

Great write, Carolyn! Living in one world the rich should help the poor to be fed at least. Now this great disaster in Russia that lots of acres of wheat have been distroyed by fire an no rain yet in sight!!! All the best and thank you for your great comment on my 'Call of the Pidgeon'...Enjoy your day!...Love, Gert
