Short Undernourished Poems

Wisdom: a cliché,   
a soul left undernourished    
as ignorance gloats....

Friendships are a lot like flowers, typically appreciative 
of outside intervention - on which both will tend to thrive -

Yet many will betray themselves, neglecting those who love them,
withholding what is needed from the ones whom they deprive,

And one day come to realize that - unrequited friendships -
like the flower - undernourished…seldom will survive....

Something inside of me fails,
It says I am undernourished and ill fed,
Something inside of me churns,
It fumes and frets for escape,
Something inside of me feels dirty,
It yearns for clean honesty,
Something inside of me condemns,
It cautions and warns acts,
Something inside of me weeps,
It mourns the end of goodness,
I feel dead as yet live,
As this very thing inside of me,
Wants to stay alive "dead"....

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?
