A picture titled "The Ying and Yang of World Hunger".
How painfully true it is..
If not for the title,
I wld not even have seen the starving, bony man in the picture.
Is this not the case in the the world?
If not for cries by activists,
If not for drastic situations that reach the headlines of newspapers,
Would we have seen The Hungry in our world?
Would we have recognised our own personal affluence?
After being shocked awake, this guilt-ridden feeling lingers..
How dare we complain about low quality food, when others have none to eat?
How dare we complain about hunger, when others are starving?
How dare we complain about our circumstances, when millions are worst off than us?
This guilt-ridden feeling lingers..
It lingers in our heart. But for how long?
How long would it be, before we start to forget?
How long would it be, before we start to neglect?
How long would it be, before we go back to our ways..?
Humans, oh how forgetful we are...
How ignorance has pampered us all!
When would it be, before we are not blinded by self-centredness..?
When would it be, before we start to SEE..?
I pray for the day, I would not forget.
I pray for the day, You will remember.
I pray for the day, the world becomes a better place.
what we are, right now @ 8:25 PM.
