Starvation

waste away
useless being
your frail life
stripped of meaning

reach out - you grasp nothing
head down - you've been left out
rotting - you see their faces
smiling

forced into hunger and desolate waste
away from the land of your ancestry
make way for cows and industry
no room for the weak or idle strays
no means for survival or sustenance
robbed of your rights and dignity
so better folks can have luxury
they'll never know who truly paid

one more life crushed by greed
born to suffer the plight of humanity
cast aside out of sight
weak and weary no strength to fight for rights
strain to find reasons to live
as the world waits for your final breath

what kind of human
contributes to the suffering of their own kind?
creatures of habit
that can't survive their own apathy
