Hunger



Hunger

Emaciated with dulled pain in their eyes
Acceptance of a destiny that dies
Manna from heaven such a load of lies
How much more needed by the silent cries

No explanation only sweet pretense
By minds conditioned to ignore sense
Well fed always easy to praise
Hungry desperation brings fear to disharmonize

Solution to famine not religious or mystical
Available only through the political
Reason versus faith clashing sacrificial
Only let me go is not the artificial

Hopeless is the future until reason
Charity no answer some moral treason
Millions more gone each passing year
Savage world so smug that smile dear
