Wasting Food

I hate to see a plate of wasted food
uneaten stuff thrown callously away
no care for hunger and starving lot
delicious delicacies left to decay.

An ocean of undernourished children
skinny bones, wait for a morsel of toast.
Scrapping leftovers in  drains and bins,
Superpowers or frankenstein ghosts?

I hate to see a plate of wasted food,
My only appeal, is this what we  should?
