"Empty Plates, Empty Eyes"
In a world of plenty, where food is abound
There are those who suffer, with empty plates around
Their eyes, once bright, now dim with despair
Their bellies, once full, now ache with hunger's snare
In the streets of cities, in the villages so fair
There are children crying, with no food to share
Their mothers, once strong, now weak with worry and fear
Their fathers, once proud, now broken, with no food to bring near
The earth, so fertile, produces fruit and grain
But the distribution's flawed, and the hungry remain
The rich, they feast, on lavish meals and fine wine
While the poor, they struggle, to survive on scraps that are mine
Oh, the irony, of a world so unkind
Where some have too much, and others, none to find
But still we hope, for a brighter day
When no one will suffer, and all will have enough to eat, come what may
So let's join hands, and make a change
Let's feed the hungry, and rearrange
The way we live, the way we share
So that everyone, everywhere, will have enough to spare.
Thank you
