hunger

there is a place
where a girl or a boy
in the same hard space
have never felt a rain drop
for us this seems crazy                                      
americans so fat and lazy
on dry cracked land
no farmers crop
nothing grows in the baking sand
here only tears fall down
bloated, little brown belly
grumbling of hunger the only sound
a peanut-butter jelly
and a milk in the fridge i found
half drank half eaten
we sure know how to waste
while starving children
are half dead half beaten
chew on this with the next
food you taste....
                  or waste
 
 
     ...how lucky we are
       siting around writing such shit
       so next time you pull out your pen
       fill out a check and just send.
       sorry to throw such a fit
       but only with full bellies will
    hunger end...



     "man writing makes me so hungry,
   going to go get a jr.bacon cheese-burger
     at wendys
     anybody want me to pick them up something?"
