To eat or not to eat
In front of the television
Or at the dining table.
Which ever way
That is my question.
The reports are grim
Starvation all over the news
Dust and sand storms
Cattle weak or dying
Arid plains parched dry.
Mud slides after rain
Homeless people staring staring
Nothing no hope no life.
Out of the television
Between bright adverts
People in need
I sit and stare at my food
And wonder aloud
Should my conscience prick
As I devour these pleasures.
