stomachs are growling

children are crying out for help

in households everywhere food is being thrown away

while children are struggling to move or speak

soft words are spoken, to remind

but everything is fine when our stomachs are filled

we take that for granted

why can’t we go and help, not just sit still

we cry when we haven’t eaten for seconds

but they haven’t eaten for days

we won’t ever get the feeling of having our stomachs ripped out

so we try to ignore

let it never cross our mind

that is world hunger
