Hunger


Every hunger child deals with pain within
While living in hostile times, a world spins
As planet turns upon an axis of momentum
Each child born has a future, but in question
Will the future be bright, limitless potential
Will each child struggle for the essentials
With a burning hunger, and lasting scars
Will they have a future within the stars?

“The belly is an ungrateful wretch, it never
remembers past favors, it always wants more
tomorrow.” Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
