W.A. Cholt Poet Tanka

A Starving Child

Holding in her arms 
A Starving child 
His frail emaciated body 
Bloated with hunger, 
Indicts a world of greed.

Paul Bell October 15, 2018 at 4:53 PM 21st century and kids are still starving. Yeah, I agree, pure greed from western countries. W.A. Cholt October 16, 2018 at 5:44 PM Thanks Paul, I appreciate your comment. Very sad but true. Far too much greed in this world. I believe there's over 1.3 billion tonnes of food wasted every year around the world.
