Famine

Bloated inside
Losing my mind.
Food scraps thrown,
That could have been supplied.
A famine secured,
Under third world skies.
Children whos appetite,
Glazes their eyes.

A dead ground.
No moisture for life.
Tainted water.
A Russian roulette invite.
A useless land.
Predators in sight.
People wasting away.
Food for the lion pride.

The Muslims slay,
The Christians that hide.
The government enslaves,
Those who don't abide.
The children in the grass,
Watch their family mutilated.
If caught, they are raped, abused
And traded.

The gluttons pray,
For luck on their side.
While children fade,
Weaken and die.
The silly 1st world.
Know nothing of fright.
They've never been starving,
Running for their lives.

Yet they still think,
They fight to survive.
