They Think It Is All Over.
Sad to say it is now.
Take Care.
They Think It Is All Over.
Sad to say it is now.
Take Care.
Starvation.
The ribs you can clearly see on all the children.
They say it is just a figment of the news reporter’s imagination.
They say they don't owe an apology or an explanation.
Asking us to stop fabricating the fake story of malnutrition.
They say they find the supposed lies insulting and offending.
It is their people and their land that they are defended.
It's just another glorified terrorist lie, mass starvation.
They want us to let them be, as they try to eliminate a nation.

I like that you left this unnamed so it could apply to either side. Powerful and poignant it emphasizes that the ones that suffer are not the ones that make the decisions. Well put Tobani
Thank you, hope you have a wonderful weekend
You are most welcome and wishing you one as well
Thank you
Hello Tobani,
Hunger by politics in so many places in the world today, some more publicised than others but all suffering the same accursed fate. An excellent verse.
Fond regards,
Tony.
Thank you, hope you have a wonderful weekend
So much sadness around us indeed🙏🏻🕊️
Thank you, hope you have a wonderful weekend
Excellent write
Thank you Tony, much appreciated
You're welcome
Oh that killer conclusion! I must hand it to you. Between malnutrition, pedophiles, school yard bullies and war victims, the list goes on endlessly. Besides it's propaganda. Deny it if you like, but that's all it is. Excellently rendered with perfect imagery and a tantalizing poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your feedback, always appreciated
Well-written, a very powerful poem.
Thank you for your feedback, hope you have a wonderful weekend
Nothing like a poem with feeling
This is bursting with it
Excellent write for those without a voice
Thank you for your kind feedback, hope you have a wonderful weekend
Wonderful commentary on the times we are living in and addressing such a pertinent subject as mass starvation. Although tragic beyond words the content is so necessary., This subject matter deserves wide exposure and discussion as there are innocent people suffering and it is poetic voices like these who capture the spirit of the times we are living in. Very much a fan of the rhyme as well. Excellent, topical writing. Thanks PL. Sincerely, Elizabeth
Thank you for your kind feedback, hope you have a wonderful weekend

Thank you
Such true words Tobani, this world is in an awful mess due to those in power who do not care about civilisation as they just want what they can get for themselves!!
Thank you
The modern times need strong medicine. I found that spark in the poem. Well done my friend. 🙏
