The thought that came to me , when I saw this girl was Hunger! Trying to spread the message of how a hungry person feels, and that we should try to fight their hunger, in any way, I wrote this poem. Hope u enjoyed it.

As I lay down here,
Tired and Weary, 
My stomach hurts,
My throat is dry,
I  am hungry, and I feel,
I feel, I want to cry!
I wish , I had some food,
To eat and to share with my hungry fellow-men.

Hunger is like the cancer,
That kills me everyday,
Every minute, Every second,
Why has it attacked me?
I don't have an answer!

Hunger is like a huge ball of fire,
Burning my stomach in it's heat,
I lie still, with my hands curled,

My legs entwined,and my heart
filled with utmost fear! 

Hunger is like the ferocious sea,
Drowning me in  terrible pain,
Everyday I fight with it,
But Alas!  I am in vain!


Hunger is like the scary vulture,
That captures me as it's prey,
"I don't want to be hungry anymore!"
To You, Oh! Lord! I pray.

I stand by the beach, and think, and lay,
Water !Water! Everywhere Not a drop to drink!
Restaurants!Hotels! everywhere, not a piece to eat!
I wish I had some food ,
To eat and share with my fellowmen
.

To you , Oh mankind!  Here I plead,
To me, please be kind,
To you, I pray My Lord!
Take me to the World of Heaven! 

Cheers
Meera
