Starving The People For Vanity And Maundering

It is sad, pernicious, and unconscionable to see So many elected officials who are so greedy And callous beyond beliefs and beyond words Dying hungry is worse than dying by the swords By the sharp blades of greed, lavishness, and selfishness It's a shame that so many sore losers are dishonest And so many people in power are not blessed God has enormous interest in the very best Individuals or leaders who are caring, charitable Kind and magnanimous, the ones who are able And willing to help the less privileged or fortunate Starving the poor proletariat to purchase mansions Jewelry or luxurious automobiles with each a gold plate Is a serious crime or sin against humanity and our nations Theft is a disease. This is criminal to steal surreptitiously From our people who are destitute, deprived, hungry And sick. Misery on earth ought to be unacceptable Corruption like noxious racism is a cancer that we should Eradicate from the surface of the earth. Regular food Is the basic medicine that a body needs on the table Starving the people for vanity is inhuman and cruel Our people are not dumb and the world is no fool Let's feed our people now and put a stop to hunger Disease, kidnapping, looting, lawlessness, and murder Avarice and cruelty contribute to the misery and torture Of our poor brothers and sisters. Please invest in the future Of our children to end all types of crimes, poverty or squalor. Copyright © February 2021, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved.
