Hunger Poem by Shakira Nandini

He said, Hunger is a cruel thing.
I asked, how is that?
He said, There is no employment, no food, no clothing
Poverty is on the rise people are helpless
They go the wrong way to satisfy their hunger
That is why corruption is on the rise.
I asked, what are the rulers doing?
He said, even their hunger does not go away
With hunger, They have become mental slaves,
They are killing the rights of others to satisfy their lust.
I thought to myself,
Hunger is the big oppressive thing.
