What's the Knot in your Tummy

Do you know what it is like to not know when or where you will get your next meal; Or how extreme hunger pains ripping thru your stomach feel.

No worse thought can imagine in the day to day life than hunger; After hour upon hour still hungry until you just can not wait any longer.

Even plain crackers is a delicacy when it's been long enough between meals; At that point you could make a complete feast out of box of crackers and a cheese wheel

Of course I would not tell anyone to go and give this life a whirl; Not sure how long one can sustain eating a diet not quite for for a squirrel.

Sooner or later I'm sure this kind of life will catch up to you; Since without nutrition to maintain energy you obtain from food .ater

Eventually this will result result rin not being able to get out of bed; Pretty rough when you consider how people's pets are alot better fed.

Calcium defiency can make your bones brittle as well as injuries easier to occur; Yet how can this happen when milk is available in almost every store .

Still remaining without happens way to often in this wonderful country of ours; It is still best country on earth despite people starving to death each and every hour .

In the end being the most powerful nation ever to be known throu out human history; Means absolutely nothing if we don't help our fellow man in a state of misery.

If you have eva been on the brink of starvation you know exactly what I mean; The complete feeling of hopelessn that come with not being seen.

You feel invisible, as if not even alive, not important to anyonea or simply exist; Not just to everyone else in this cold ass world but also Gods weird humor twist.

Always was told bout his cruel sense of humor all thru my life; By Family members, in school from teachers, even preachers would recite.

Still makes no sense to allow suffering like this to even happen; How can people be hungry with all the animals killed all around by trapping.

Or with all the food thrown away by restaurants alone on a daily basis after closing; Sure that in each city be plenty enough to feed the needy, homeless, or unchosen.

If that would work than be an easy cure for the world hunger pandemic to be fixed; Why not think there is any possible way be any easier than this.

As the saying has always been told to me about solutions to problems; Being that the Simplist answer is usually the best solu

tion.
