Hunger Has A Name

Hunger has a name,
And hunger has a face.
Hunger has a hand that gropes
Around a barren place.

Hunger has a name,
And hunger has a look.
Hunger has a voice that calls
From some abandoned nook.

Hunger has a name,
And hunger has a soul.
Hunger has two arms that ache
From holding out a bowl.

Hunger has a name,
But hunger's not alone.
Hunger has the eyes to see
Fat men with hearts of stone.

Faith, did you write this poem? I'm writing a PR campaign for an NGO for World Hunger Day and am looking for ideas. Your poem popped up in my Google search. Please contact me at angie@abrahampost.com.
