Stick Figures -Version 2-by- Matthew F. Blowers III


Listen Later

stick figures
are the
only art
that represents
the hungry
the victims of
starvation
their large eyes
peering out
from dessicated bodies
like hangman sketches
not yet hung
arms and legs
all bony protrubrances
jutting at odd angles
the only thing bloated
are the stomachs
of the babies
a mockery of
the emptiness within
there are stick figures
all over the world
the kindling of poverty
as the hunger burns
they evaporate
and more take their place
children draw
stick figures
never knowing such
people exist
I often wonder what
starving children
would draw
round fat figures
with big smiles
and bellies full
of graphitication??
stick figures
should remind us
whenever we view them
to help feed the hungry
and erase the
lines drawn
to soup kitchens
and dumpsters
creating a panoramic
and happier view
of the less fortunate.
Reach out to the tiny
Stick like figures all
over the world
Send a donation
Because the U. S..
Once so generous
Has cut off aid to
The entire world
including the United States
Under the cruelty
Of their stingy leader
Donald Trump
Peace to you and yours
In these very trying times.
