Undernourishment Poems | Examples

Nailing Man's Fear

While harvest of 
earth is bounty, divine
Millions cease to exist
 from starvation .
How to allay famine, 
a dreadful sign
When nature endows all 
without ration ?
The world yields enough 
crops through sun or rain--
And river beds swim 
with fish of seasons,
Providing decent meals 
from nourished grain
Then why this famish 
for selfish reasons?

* The United Nations estimates that about
795 million people of the 7.3 billion people
in the world, or one in nine, were suffering 
from chronic undernourishment in 2014-2016.

*It is believed that a principal underlying cause
of poverty and hunger is the operation of
economic systems in the world that resources
end up in the hands of a rich minority.
