Amidst the Panic At the Food Bank

People be hurting, their hungry Some not working Since 2020 of February Standing in these modern times New generational soup/hungry lines People gathering Trying just to get them something Food on their mind Look at Them there dented cans here Are the same one’s that’s been there? In the corner on the shelf People keep putting back So much sodium in them can beans Don’t need no seasoning Well, well They’re running (ran) out of bread and milk There ain’t no more potatoes And the peanut butter got to much oil in it No more butter and cheese People fighting for potatoes Ooh wee! People post pandemic Such a panic at the food bank Been rushing to the Food Bank Had to put on my think-thank Cause there ain’t hardly nothing left Cepting them spider webs This is one of the reason there panic at the food bank Ain’t got no toilet paper No grapes, apples NO celery NO more pinto beans Run out of vegetables Ain’t got no more sugar People rushin and cussin O’ Lord there’s so much yellN-ScreamN and hollering Help us all Lord we should give thanks (to what is left, what we got) Help us all cause there is panic at the Food Bank We should give thanks, for what’s left, cause we few(all) are bless We give thanks For what we got Amidst the Panic at the Food bank 7/28/2021 2021© For Panic at the Food Bank Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Kai Michael Neumann
