The the color of hunger might be brown, Like dirt or tree bark Or tan, like Sahara sand
It might be green, The color of plenty 'water water everywhere But not a drop to drink'
Or maybe red, The color of war Of passion, of love and fear The color of a flush on Pale cheeks
But you know what I think? I think hunger is yellow, Like dried up grass, Like plaid skin, reminiscent Of scurvy The color of sickness
The whole word should be yellow Because the whole world is sick Sick with hunger Sick with gluttony Sick with greed and ignorance
