Suicidal Hardship

My government 
Has not approved
Helping the poor.

Going down town
Ancient food chain
Menu price up.

Market items
Rotting all eyes
Left empty hands.

My eyes eating
Paint hamburger
Cramps my belly.

Reality bites, Darlene. There is food crisis everywhere. The price of every commodity is skyrocket high. There is shortage of food all over the world. The demand and supply ends not meet. Government is not doing to alleviate this issue. I wonder if global warming worsen that would exacerbate a domino effect on our food supply more. Hmmm, Life is hard nowadays, Darlene. Much love here./Hugo.
