Hunger


Think of your favorite food.

Everything is delicious to them.

It's good not to be picky, but it's also so good to know tastes.

Looking around in a mall most have expensive delectable treats.

Believe it or not some don’t in other places.

In fact, a lot don’t.

Every day we see so many things

some people can’t even imagine these things

why don’t we let them?

we have so much while millions of people suffer from fatalities that could be resolved in a minute for 1st worlds

so why do they need to endure this pain?

So much food to go around but we stuff ourselves while they have nothing

don’t hear me wrong you can most definitely eat, but why not try to let them, too.

Today we don't need to hunt we just buy from a store, so why must they?

Have you seen a juicy, ripe, red, apple?

They would answer, "no".

Be someone to help them say yes.

maybe not an apple, maybe not even juice, but maybe just maybe something to eat.

Help them eat. 

Help them taste.

Help them hope.

Help them be happy.
