The world is full of injustices and we won't admit them. So few help those who are poor. We lost all values.

What a shame for humanity to have millions of people suffering from hunger and thousands of children to die every day from lack of food while enormous amound of food is wasted for the greedy to get richer. A poignant poem reminding us of the injustice committed by those who have a lot and those who have nothing. Blessings my good friend, Lasaad.

Thank you, dearest friend Demetrios, for sharing your amazing thoughts and spot-on observations, it's just despicable that many people suffer hunger while huge amounts of food are wasted on a daily basis. Humans don't care about others, only themselves. Blessings and best wishes for a wonderful week ahead.

Hello Lasaad, Sorry I got the name wrong above: You are welcome. Yes you are right. Plenty of food is wasted. When I have a meal and can not finish it I keep it for the next day. Left overs are always good for the next meal. Yes too many people starving in this worl. enjoy your day my friend.

Thank you, Tom; it's always a delight to see your comments; certainly, many people go hungry, despite the massive amount of food that is thrown out here and there. Have a great evening.
