A haiku poem in response to ronovanwrites weekly haiku challenge # 225, using the prompt words hunger & Strike
The wait is long
the clock strikes on oblivious
to worldly issues
hungry mouths implore
the eyes scan for a morsel
starving stomachs groan
each day a struggle
against tears and hunger
a forlorn saga.

Very true Megha. I am appalled at how the leaders do not feel the pain of all the hungry people.
