This 5-7-5, No Loaves and Fishes, has the right set up and challenges the privileged to remember and act concerning the less fortunate.

Well, that was mighty BIG of you, Anonymous Poet.
Seeing as how there are babies starving and dying due to malnutrition, water-borne diseases and infection, putting food in some of those outstretched hands is better than none at all, right?
WRONG! I do realize that you, yourself, are just making a point and would never--under any circumstances--allow a single one of those poor people with outstretched hands to go hungry.
And that cheeseburger...WOW!
That thing could feed an army, heh-heh.
All my best to you in the 5-7-5 contest.

Unfortunately half the world is starving and half the world is obese, it makes no sense does it, I have never felt hunger in my life, but realise many do, a poignant write, love Dolly x

Depending on the city that you're in, there are quite a few that are out and in need of a hand up. It's really unfortunate and one never knows when they might be the recipient of bad luck. I like the message you've conveyed here. The artwork is interesting and compliments your work. Well done!

Interesting five - seven - five poem and illustration. We have only so much and we can share only so much. I've always believed we can't take care of others until we've taken care of ourselves. Good luck in the contest.

This is an excellent 5-7-5 poem
of one of the great failures of our civilization
that anyone should go hungry, when so many have so much.
Interesting art work matches perfectly
Well done
Good luck in the contest

It's so hard to know how to give when people beg... in Cambodia I wanted to help a woman get milk for her baby. My daughter grabbed me explaining that the woman put liquor in baby bottles so babies sleep as they beg for money...the money they say is for milk goes to a man...the child doesn't get it...they nurse them... And when the children begged..Becca kept saying...why aren't you in school? She told me don't pay them money or they will never go to school.
Saddest
God bless

Hi Contest Author,

A terribly sad fact you address here, my friend, in your well-written poem. Heartbreaking. This is a very good contest entry and should be a strong contender. Good luck and thanks for addressing this international disgrace. Jan
