Feed the Poor

A billion people, give or take starving around the world On the "news", trucks filled with food not handed out, just hurled People fight like animals for scraps of what is left Fifty trucks suppose to show from one there was no theft Families of all those with power they intercept the gifts The villagers will starve again the privileged causing rifts Village Chiefs and Tribal Leaders those with power and might Live like Kings while poor are starving and die throughout the night The Wealthy Countries donate goods turn a blind eye to the wrong They won't make waves or rock the boat they will sing that same old song.....
