Starved Stomachs

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.
