Lost

Visions of a faceless being Emotions stirred without seeing Stricken children lost at birth Like wick-less candles, without worth Haunting eyes and bodies frail The tendrils of my heart assail Dedicated to all the starving children that will never have a chance Bob Quigley Sept 10, 2011 Written for Constance LaFrance's "Six Line Of Poetry. Please"

The face of hunger does indeed haunt anyone seeing it. So sad we live with such inequality. Your verse is explicitly sad but full of the truth.
