A skip of meal

Missed Brekkie this morn', although Mom did warn

But a skip of meal, made me internally heal

Explosion of hunger taught me to wonder

Slums and bare feet, no shades — full heat

Tiny faded smiles, bellies empty inside

--------------------------------------------------

Left my money at home, felt like an empty dome

I couldn't grab a cake, riches felt so fake

Then a beggar came, and I felt 'me' lame

We both felt like same, I couldn't feel no shame

But I had fine clothes, in my eyes were hopes

I couldn't see her smile, bare feet a mile

My shoes were great, everything I owned—I couldn't hate

Spread hands with her drool, she thought I was cool?

If no money in the sequel, she and I were 'equal'

Who taught her despair, no hope I swear!

Then I really thought, we were same; but not

I had dream and hope, but her answer was : "nope!"

I felt sad, my heart-- but my bus gets start

Today, I learnt skipping meal-- how they all do feel.
