Hungry babies
Have no voice
Just empty stomachs
Its governments choice.
As the clammy hand
Of capitalism closes
In this the UK
Government focus.
Not on these children
As the safety net falls
Ever lower standards
Parents call.
Feed our children
Or give us enough
Not empty words
Real wages cut.
Hungry babies
What message to send
To a watching world
Who cant comprehend.

Hungry babies are uncontrollable, aggressive and literally it’s so difficult to handle them in public places
I wrote the poem about baby milk banks being opened in uk for parents who cant afford milk due to high prices and poverty due to cost of living crisis in the 6th richest economy in the world. its shocking
