As I sit and eat,

a meal complete,

the television blares bad news.

The starvation rate is out of control,

many people are nutritionally abused.

A starving child, a haunting thought,

now sour is the taste, of the food I’ve bought.

How is this possible? What can I do?

To help these children, even one or two.

Through acts of kindness, there’s plenty I can do!
