Childish hunger? Must be a lie

Calm down.
Don´t be so sensitive...
You must understand
exactly what I´m telling you.
People who are hungry
are hungry on their own fault.
Is their own fault.

Nobody dies of hunger.
It´s a TV show made of false images
to make us hang our eyes from
the TV screen.
What did you see?...

What? Ah...You are sure that you have seen
a six years old boy, thin arms, dying in the middle
of anything...
nothing to eat and all that?.

Don¨t worry
Must be a lie.
A six years old dying, lying
like an old one.
Can´t be ...
real.

You are so right in your conclusions. Los ricos mas ricos, y los pobres mas pobres en qualquier pais. Nada cambia, nunca!
Bill Murray.............................
"Contenido Adentro - (Contained Within)"

Contenido adentro -- toda la gloria de la vida
toda la tristeza y el dolor, todo lo que existiera,
Lo que pudiera haber sido y todavia no es,
Lo que vino primero y es aun ultimo.

Todo contenido adentro -- agobiando la vida
haciendo cada paso una jornada agonizante,
Brotando pero tambien marchitando
Viviendo pero tambien muriendo.

Contenido adentro -- todo el flujo y decremento
la jornada gastada, el uno, dos, tres, cuatro de nada
Pero en caulquier sentido algo
algo enloquecido o gozoso -- pero algo.

Contenido adentro -- la voz del espiritu
el tejedor del alma siempre tejiendo
siempre construyendo noches bien gastadas
y dias bien completados,
Todo contenido adentro la vida callada.

Hunger does not cry out loud. It killed the silent slowly. Few mourn their passing.

Superb use of understatement.
