Starved StomachsA Poem by Raj SahuThis poem shows the dark side of humanity and the bad effect of poverty.The eyes were constantly searching, Searching for the food to quench the appetite. But the stony passers were ignoring the hungry mouths, imagining of a bite. Poverty has become an antagonist, In the story of starved stomachs. Each character and himself the protagonist Just thinks and their thumbs they suck. The eyes shed bitter tears And their hearts complained to the Lord, "O Almighty! Are we lacking in prayers or had done the deeds so abhorred?" Unbeatable crying, but still lives the hope And it will live until breaks the life's rope.
