If There Where No Hunger? Poem by Mary Amrutha

If There Where No Hunger?

Rating: 2.5


Have you ever wondered,
if there where no hunger

The world must have been a better place
with people still on their beds
sleeping all day long.

at least we can say,
no fights for food.

If there where no hunger,
why we go for work?
why we study?
why wars?
why quarrels?
why money?

Even if there where no hunger
there is no use,
we finds something else
to fight for.
Fights!
Fights!
all day long.

The nature of man never changes
never ever changes for any one...

Your poem ends with the logical conclusion based on what you wrote: The nature of man never changes/never changes for anyone. I sincerely wish I could object to your conclusion and argue with you, but alas you are speaking the truth, however sad it is to hear it. However, having read about nine of your poems tonight, I'm in an optimistic mood, because as long as there are young people like you with your intelligence, sensitivity, and your willingness to speak for human values, I have hope in the future. Be Well, Do Good Work, and Keep Writing Your Poetry! !
