A Walk battling hunger and Corona
by L16081995
We walked 500 kilometres,
We are not marathon runners,
We ran only for food and family.
The walk was long,
But our minds were strong,
Hunger came along.
Hunger put us to faint;
Public watched us like saint,
We were treated as a quaint.
The going got tough;
Our foot became rough,
We felt the tiring walk was enough.
Tears poured in our heart,
Disease ripped the whole world apart,
But humankind was selfish and smart.
Public and rulers slept,
We remained helpless and wept,
Banks disturbed us with debt.
Fishes in the sea cry,
The eaters put it to fry,
Our hunger cries were buried,
Towards our homes we hurried.
Frogs rested in the shadow of a snake,
Hunger tested us during this corona quake.
Corona turned a manhunt tiger,
Killed us with its sharp tooth of hunger,
Our hearts filled with demonic anger,
Hunger kept disturbing us longer.
Our corpses were a useless exhibition,
Media wolves framed our deaths a suicide,
We had no place to reside,
Train tracks became our new home inside.
Our hunger and pains remain unheard
Ruthless rulers find our sufferings awkward
Our hunger creates leaders and robbers,
Rulers filled our society with backstabbers,
We will emerge as leaders and food feeders,
The globe will become our followers and readers.
To all living beings we will feed,
To our future generations we will become a seed,
If hunger kills a human like a crop-killing weed,
Our hands will destroy the humanimals with greed.
