The Politics of Hunger
The Politics of Hunger
The politics of hunger,
The politics of greed,
The politics of want and
The politics of need.
The swagger and the bluster
Of Trump rampaging free,
The bad deals made for Brexit-
Poor choices made by May.
Chemicals that will not degrade,
Plastics in every cell.
Good health eludes the poor-
They never shall be well.
The rich will leave the earth,
Off to planets new,
Whilst the humble will be left
But ruination cannot undo.
The politics of hunger
Juxtaposed with greed
But all we should want
Is to fulfil what we need.
