Nailing Man's Fear
While harvest of
earth is bounty, divine
Millions cease to exist
from starvation .
How to allay famine,
a dreadful sign
When nature endows all
without ration ?
The world yields enough
crops through sun or rain--
And river beds swim
with fish of seasons,
Providing decent meals
from nourished grain
Then why this famish
for selfish reasons?
Fear ll Contest, Debbie Guzzi

* The United Nations estimates that about
795 million people of the 7.3 billion people
in the world, or one in nine, were suffering
from chronic undernourishment in 2014-2016.
*It is believed that a principal underlying cause
of poverty and hunger is the operation of
economic systems in the world that resources
end up in the hands of a rich minority.
