Our digestive system is starting to hurt We thoroughly deemed this void As if we're crashing from a Pyramid in, revert An urgent necessity that must be spoiled The earth is shifting to sand in an islet desert Land beheld through the lens of greed boiled. Unless we dig ourselves out of dismal dirt We are going to hurt the crashing avoid Giving you a speck of buoyancy exerts You should sow it since it's a seed poised I request a grain and am granted a sight I require a piece and am granted the right When I ask for a roll, I get paper insight When I seek exegesis, I am said of my gut delight I will be attentive to the light When I pray to the realm, the gates reveal the site.

If only we could think of our fellow man who suffers from hunger, the worst of agonizing death, we could have a better world, my friend, Lasaad. A touching poem. Be blessed!

Hunger is not a punishment from above but the greed of humanity.

it's sad that there is actually enough land to grow food for all the world, but thanks to greed and inefficient govt. systems, people are still growing hungry
