Food For Thought

                The starving people of the world
                I'm sorry, I can feed them not.
                There's something I know I can feed to you
                and that is food for thought.

                If you never had to sit down
                at an empty dinner table,
                then try going without food for one day
                just to see if you are able.

                If you can do it faithfully
                you'll be hungry, without doubt.
                Then think how it feels to people
                who go for days without.

                Eighteen starving people die every minute
                are what some statistics say.
                Multiply that by two thousand forty.
                That's how many die every day!

                All these starving people
                are not just found in other countries.
                Just take a good hard look around you
                hunger knows no boundaries.

                One person cannot perform the task
                to help all the people in need.
                But joining together in unison
                will help a great number indeed.

                The starving people of the world
                I'm sorry, I can feed them not.
                There's something I know I can feed to you
                and that is food for thought....
