In a corner of the shining city...... <br />Sleeps the slums like ultimate curses... <br />Fragile bodies- bare and black <br />Distorted by the doctrines of Fate, <br />Desperately desire for a divine intervention............ <br /> <br />Everyday their hopes succumb <br />To the irreversible Hopelessness and Helplessness..... <br />They desire, they die... <br />For a loaf of bread. <br />Such is the Horror of Hunger! ! !<br /><br />Debasish Mishra<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-horror-of-hunger/
