When we sit to feed our satisfied tummies,
Do we sit and ponder?
Think of them?
Those among us
That are emaciated.
Those that their stomachs are flat,
Their mouths dry,
Their skeleton weak.
Those among us that breakfast, lunch and super are just dreams.
When we throw food and let it flow in the drainage.
Do we think?
Think of those who passed away of hunger?
How many of them in ukambani?
How many in marsabit and how many elsewhere?
Are the numbers significant or just statistics?
Are they among us or we consider them as “them”?
So before eating, before throwing away, before wasting.
Why don’t we think of them and act like a responsible society?
But do we?
