Starvation all round'

Farming is coming to a standstill and all aids are withheld. The outcome will be rising poverty and starvation. Powerfully penned, dear Joe. indeed a wake up call.

We are our own worst physicians -- to do little, or just pray (not that I do not see the power in prayer) -- is to knee-cap our prayers, giving them local crutches and not dynamic, divine wings; unwittingly aiding and abetting the enemy. Personal, uncomfortable involvement is paramount. We need to do more to help ourselves and our neighbors, near and far. We cannot simply ask governments and charitable organizations to help -- we must demand of them, and insist on accountability. Or not support them at all.

This piece packs a strong punch—urgent, questioning, and raw. The repetition of “starvation” across physical, informational, and spiritual realms is powerful. Feels like a wake-up call masked in poetic rhythm.
