Some people strive for the highest grades Or the newest car Or the nicest house Some people have a hunger to be the best  To get the highest grades To go to the best schools To be better But what about those  who strive to not be hungry Statistically 1 in every 5 kids go to bed hungry And guess what They wake up hungry Not knowing when the hell they'll get food And here we are hungry for the new iPhone 7 We open the stocked cabinets In our kitchens And respond with theres nothing to eat Tell that to the 15.3 million children  under 18 in the United States  Who live in households  where they are unable to access enough nutritious food necessary for a health We strive to be the best We hunger the newest things this Christmas But what about those who every day  Strive to not be hungry -StefC

Strive to not be hungry
Some people strive for the highest grades Or the newest car Or the nicest house Some people have a hunger to be the best  To get the highest grades To go to the best schools To be better But what about those  who strive to not be hungry Statistically 1 in every 5 kids go to bed hungry And guess what They wake up hungry Not knowing when the hell they'll get food And here we are hungry for the new iPhone 7 We open the stocked cabinets In our kitchens And respond with theres nothing to eat Tell that to the 15.3 million children  under 18 in the United States  Who live in households  where they are unable to access enough nutritious food necessary for a health We strive to be the best We hunger the newest things this Christmas But what about those who every day  Strive to not be hungry -StefC
