LOOKS
Hungry looks, that haunted me for long
Taxed my memory, whom did they belong
Pangs of hunger, was it eminent danger
Horrors gone by, was it what do I care
Sunken sockets, standfast did they stare
Seeing through the souls, secrets did they blare
Life long suffering, not an inch of fun and fare
Those little joys of suffering, perhaps none to share
Stretched hands, caving stomachs, skeletons that were bare.
Unconcerned, passers by, even eyes did not stare
Is not God's mercy, equal for all to share
Why some suffer, while others get lion's share.
