Hunger’s Curriculum Vitae Hunger Is communication That something is wrong With our way of thinking Either we have to solve It or we will perish Away with it! The stomach Knows no boundary When it comes to swallowing But sometimes there isn’t anything To swallow at all swallowing Thinness and diseases Malnutrition and Sometimes Even death! While also The food we Eating today is As dangerous as Poison slowly destroying Us from our appetite and their Deliciousness especially from our Ignorance! Food was never Complicated to eat like These days where You first read the Curriculum vitae Of your food Before your Swallow So as To know If you will Survive or not! Which leaves us this question If food has become this difficult To eat what will we eat what are we Going to be eating, today, tomorrow And the day after tomorrow? Are We eating anything? What are We eating? And what shall We eat in the future Remains our Question! We are traditionally known for eating Food! But if we are not careful enough This same food is going to eat us up All of us in return! What I also don’t understand is why Are we still starving to death yet this World has developed so much! From Traveling with airplanes to now Planning to live in Mars and At the moon! From having Traffic conjunctions to Having underground Transport system From having Technology In the cables To now having The same technology Connected to our bodies Like we are born with it yes it! We need to do something about our Food! We need to do something About what we eat and we Need to do something About ourselves Whilst we can And before We turn Into A Disaster That is too Big for us to Handle or solve! Do we really know what hunger is guys Do we really know what it is Let us carefully listen to it To what it has to say Even if it runs away From us let us Let us locate It and have A conversation With him lest we Can all strike a mutual Deal that benefits us all! If all this does not work then we will Launch a war against hunger Because he has been Destroying us for a Long time without Us doing Anything About It! The funny thing about all this is ever Since the times we started eating We never stopped eating! Continuously or with Some space in Between! Viva_2030_Viva! Viva_Zero_Hunger Global_Village_Viva! Viva_2030_Viva! Viva_Zero_Hunger Global_Village_Viva! Here's an audio recording of Mr. Chipeke reading another poem titled, Hunger's Curriculum Vitae
