I Dream Of a World

I dream of a world where hunger
No longer has a grasp on a great number
Of people from all continents and places
Both the people who can’t afford the basics
The basic food that would conclude the reign of their starvation
the imperative source of water that would keep them hydrated
A basic form of refuge and shelter, a roof over their heads
And enough currency to consistently keep their family fed
Then there’s the people who have access to food of all kinds
But the food steadily available they often times decline
As they feel the pressure from our societal standards
that causes them to pause and be bystanders
To the consumption and the intake of food
By those who hunger will not be ensued
As they find no importance in the amount of calories
And eat three meals a day as they please
I dream of a world where food is both available to all
And not seen as an enemy by those who tend to withdraw
From the vital intake of nutrients and calories which they often eclipse
Hunger is a symptom of a multitude of arduous conflicts
Both poverty and a disorder in the primitive skill of eating
the lack of even distribution of food for feeding
the compulsory inflation and rise of the price
of the basic necessities of life.
And the grievous inescapable pressure constituting from the unfeasibly high beauty standards
of the world
of society
of culture
of people
And most of all, from ourselves
I dream of a world where there is enough food that the consequent hunger would subside
And a world where none feel the pressure to be hungry
And to restrain themselves from the basic human right of the consumption of food
I dream of a world where hunger
No longer has it’s suffocating grasp on a great number
Of thousands of people from all continents and places
I dream of a world where hunger ends
And frees thousands of human beings from its harmful dominance
