The Child Cries

The child cries,
“Hunger, hunger is killing me!”
Maid comes running
over the hills and valleys
across oceans and sees
wind the winds he comes
with packages of fire
to burn hunger in stomachs
that all children may live
in plenty and never cry
“hunger, hunger, hunger”
to disturb peaceful world
