~~Can't a people that waste so much, consume so much, find a way to feed those among us who have nothing?~~

Rose-colored, stained-glass windows Cannot shield us from decay Grim reaper throws his shadow We just nod and look away Acid-tears on sunken cheeks No one to hear their heartcry Broken misfits, for solace seek But every breath of hope dies Faces haunt us as we sleep What is a human soul worth A mother's child bows down to weep For food, for love, for comfort The poor are with us always There will be death and sorrow When we close our eyes today We insure it for tomorrow

Eddie, an important, well written poetic message. Politics have everything to do with our pathetic global food distribution system; a stain on humanity and all who view themselves as "civilized." Thanks for your statment.
