Street children by Ginger Betzer


Orphaned, hungry alone,
they ravage the garbage
Pillar through trash cans and waste,
Looking for one morsel, one bite
To hold them through the night
and ease the gnawing hunger and pain.
My brother has seen them,
He's been there....and watched the hunger
Witnessed the pain.
And now he shares it with us....recorded live.
We watch
     armed with soda's and pizza,
and we eat till our stomach's ache......
                  and our soul sift through trash trying to find one morsel of our own humanity
                  holding onto that fleeting moment when we actually feel their pain.... and....
                              going............going........ .....gone.
