Amidst the ruins of society's decay,
Where the forgotten ones live day by day,
There lies a struggle that few understand,
The plight of poverty and hunger's demand.
Guiltless children with bellies thin,
Suffering from want and lacking within,
Their faces gaunt, their eyes filled with tears,
As they struggle through their tender years.
The hunger pangs that gnaw at their soul,
As they try to make their poverty whole,
A cycle of despair, a never-ending plight,
That seems to have no end in sight.
In the streets, the hungry beg,
Their voices filled with pain and dread,
The cold and hunger slowly eat away,
Their spirits, hopes, and dreams each day.
