for all the children starving
on the first day of may
all the lonely children
gathered to play a game
each venturing to hide
within the seven wonders
on the first day of may
the sun refused to shine
and the children hidden
behind the shadows
pretended not to cry
on the first day of may
the glorious bell did ring
and all the children
starving for affection
raced to meet their king
may first two thousand thirteen

Very sad. Your sensitivity to hunger in the world is very touching.
Thank you, Lola. There could easily be less hunger in this world. It’s a shame it hasn’t been eliminated by now.
It’s like a fairy-tale.
Thank you for reading and commenting and tweeting this one, Denise.
