Tears stain
mother's cheeks
as she
struggles
to fill
her child's
tummy.
She skips
another meal
and
feeds,
nourishes,
protects.
She hears
the moans
and cries
her
baby
exerts.
The dark
circles under
their eyes.
So tired
of being
hungry.
Hungry.
All other
thoughts
vanish.
Hungry.
Fifteen
million.
Fifteen
million.
Fifteen
million.
Fifteen

Fifteen
million.
Fifteen

Fifteen

Fifteen

Fifteen

Fifteen

Fifteen

Fifteen

Fifteen

Fifteen

Fifteen

Fifteen

Fifteen
million.
Fifteen
million.
Fifteen
million.
Fifteen
million.
Fifteen
million.
Fifteen
million.
Fifteen
million.

I was once a hungry child, my mother skipped meals for me and--in the hardest times--stole for me. Please help these children and parents. Child hunger ends here.
