Essay
It was always there
Rice, beans and meat
3 times a day
Both for you and me
How unromantic - or maybe not
Until today:
Hungry!
Don’t get me wrong, I ate
I ate rice, meat and beans
Maybe you did too
But someone did not
Someone somewhere in a corner
has not eaten for days
Today, still hungry,
and hoping tomorrow
He might not have to sleep hungry TOO
Not so lucky as you and me
HUH!
How ungrateful have I been
How ungrateful of you
That we did not have to sleep hungry
Because it was always there
