Hunger


Have you seen the hunger in a baby's eyes

Have you ever heard the mother respond with the same reply

"I'm sorry love, i promise just wait one more night"

"Baby I'm sorry, please don't cry"

Sometimes it takes, real eyes, to realize 

That most times its just life.

World hunger is a term that define

Starving, hungy, melnurushed

I pray to see the day, the world will flourish

Not a human in the world, without the courage

To look at their baby and knowing for certain

That with out a doubt the baby will eat

No more tearrs putting the small one to sleep 

Waking up in the morning with a kiss on the cheek

First world hunger then world peace

All you have to do is just have a dream

Like Martin Luther King

And pursue it

1,2,3  theres nothing to it

If you want to make a chane its right around the corner

Chase it down 

And bring back world order
