Poems by Roni Moore
This Troubled World
Look at their bodies
Just wasting away.
Will they get food
Or clean water today?
Look in their eyes
And see the raw pain.
They will try to survive
But may die all the same.
How can this happen
To a human on earth?
Left to die in such a way,
Doesn’t life have more worth?
If I had a magic wand
I’d wave it and see.
If the whole of this world
Could be hunger free.
But I know that I haven’t
So all I can say.
Is I hope they get fed
And be healthy one day.
