It is sad to see a child's eyes in a morning light <br />crying out but no bread in sight <br />Possessions are few and time is brief <br />The parents-beyond reason wait with grief <br />Healthy & free on the other side of the world <br />a human race sees the flag unfurled <br />Not fair lack of justice - I've heard people <br />say detached uninvolved-until it comes their way <br />Brutal hunger is cruel and thoughtless its true. <br />It exists here in the red white and blue <br />Don't wait-reach out-do your part <br />It could have been you right from the start.<br /><br />michele kostelnik<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/starvation-6/
