a grain of rice

a grain of rice

A Poem by SJ

Dying in Africa

We say we’re starving

The lost their life, just fighting for a grain of rice

Supermarkets scatter the streets

Imagine days on your feet

All for a grain of rice

Doctors on our doorstep

Think of dragging a loved one for miles around

In the hope that help will be found

Live a day in their life

And it’ll be easy

I’m not starving are you?
