Devastation of World Hunger

I'm appalled and devastated about world hunger
A crisis that can't be overlooked
Signs are so rampant and wide spread
People are starving here in our nation

World governments won't take action
Red Cross and Peace Corps can only do so much
Children are dying, a fact so shameful
A global problem, a dormant issue

My hope is that, public officials elected
Explore other avenues to resolve the problem
We need an honest effort and time
The wealthiest won't donate a dime

Politicians help countries start wars
But won't jepordize world resources
What a selfish motive, not to help
This is the devastation of world hunger
