    Poem Commentary

    I would like to dedicate this poem to the many people who reach out to feed the children. Right here in our own country children suffer. Thank you

    Hunger

     Children peer from a window
    Tears falling down ones face

    Cars pass swiftly
    The end of another day
    Suppers waiting
    They must get home

    The smaell of home cooking
    Fills the air

    Children peer throught the window
    It's another day
    Another day of hunger
    Right here in the city

    Home where people have plenty
    There is a child that  is hungry
    They  hunger for the taste
    That fills the air

    Untill you have known the pain
    Suffer as they do
    Like a child somewhere
    In your own town
    A better understanding
    You might have

    Children cry out inside
    Hear their crys of hunger
    They are hungry today
    Peering through their windows
    Smelling someones  home cooked meal
    On their table nothing

    It breaks my heart when I think of all the poor and needy that we neglect we live in the richest country in the world where food and shelter is always available if only the resources weren't hidden in the dark alleys and bowery’s. Living bellow the poverty level is not a sin, it's a shame that gives all Americans a black eye. There is neither rhyme nor reason that this circumstance should prevail. A solution should be top priority. Nice poem Betty, your heart is always in the right place. LOL, BDC

    Wow! It is rough for me to think of anyone who does not have the means for something so basic as a meal. It is even worse to think of a child in that position, because they don't have the ability an adult does to provide for themself. Thank you for sharing your poems.

    gogant you are so right but there is only so much we can do. Unfortunatley many fall between the cracks. I too wish there were more we could do.

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
