A Bird Called Hunger

…A picture taken in a foreign land
A small child crawling…too weak to stand
…overlooked by a carrion bird
…its cries gone unheard
Who is the God who sent the vulture
to await its meal of human flesh
…dying for want of a crumb of bread
Could he have not sent an angel instead
that the vulture would go hungry to his bed
Perhaps God did sent an angel
…one with a camera in his hand
to record for all the hunger in that land
and in the recording was deemed his karma
Can we…ashamed and shocked…just turn our head
Our karma will be deemed as well…
……………………in the ways that we cast our bread
