Calm is the dawning day, <br />As I from my bed I rise, <br />That at that moment one has died <br />I as little care as realise. <br /> <br />They have died because they had not to eat <br />The food Ive dumped that from my breakfast I have left <br />Though I never to them could it have given <br />Though waste, it is like from them a theft. <br /> <br />Little knowning and less caring I make my way <br />Through my world in which all is fair <br />I ask my God the day I never see <br />Of famine, and if I do, someone for me does care.<br /><br />Tomás Ó Cárthaigh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/calm-is-the-dawning-day/
