South Famine - Humanifesto
When you wake up
Will there be food today
Will the grain silo be full
Will it be as empty as your gut
When you get to the farm
Work till the sun goes down
Will you wonder where all the food goes
Will you be able to feed your kids
Will the farmers' grains
We harvested today
Wind up on your plates
Will it feed your country men
With thousands of children starving
Why is your produce sold to rich nations
Why is the food your people need
Winding up fed to cattle
When you wake up
Will the first sound that you hear
While stretching your arms be the sound of the bombs
Wrecking the lands that you've sown
Will your children live
With the threat of war every day
Will they live their lives always questioning why
Weapons take precedence over people
When the sun sets
Warmth fading slowly
Will you fear for your life all through the night
Will you feel better when the day breaks
Will the house that you built
With your dad when you were young
Withstand the bombardment of armaments
Walls hold more than memories
