Pregnancy Awaited Hope: Bitter Born Starvation Dies Poem by Terence George Craddock

a pregnancy
celebrated with awaited hope...

a longed for pregnancy
celebrated with rejoicing jubilation...

then the famine struck
while a first world indifferent...

played video games snap chatted
discarded excessive mountains food wasted...

trucked dumped discarded allowed
to rot putridly to increase margin profits...

food shortages planned by an entitled elite privileged
controlling global markets created famine calculated maliciously...

do not believe the lie
there is no elite first world...

do not believe the lie
there is no destitute poverty third world...

because a media con artist campaign
brainwashed deaf into believing slogan developing world...

what difference is dying
in dirty western cast off rags...

instead of traditional handmade clothes
as starvation bloated stomach flesh melts from bones...

shelter lacking clothes food
cave love leaving yielding dark...

warmth primeval wombs to be
to soon dead starvation cast into clogged...

graves
on disused...

diced roadsides
dry ditch desolation...

worming famine across
an indifferent merciless ecology...

still slays suffering
starvation boneyard shores humanity...

while trillions trillions are wasted
on producing death weapons for profit wars...
