Hunger

Hopeless eyes Line the roads Like begging bowels Empty, seeking, searching Looking for life Driven by primitive need Empty swollen bellies Wayward spindly waif's Collected by the score Death smiles on all Is their only friend Wring hands, say prayers What could be, should be When affluence toasts the day Decorator homes Cocktails, dinner and modest tip CEO's corporate package Outweighs hunger Earth's broken heart Too many, love Prayer, need Make a donation A dollar will do Feed my children Weep together Hand in hand More then earth can bear
