Poem by Nina Padolf

More Than Just Food For Thought
  
Hunger has no borders, it impacts all ages in many places.
Besides many living from paycheck to paycheck
or who may have not yet to received unemployment, whatever the reason,
hunger is a reality for many.
Let’s stop dividing each other into categories.
This is not the time to argue over basic human needs.
Humanity doesn’t ask why, rather it asks us to share
and provide food without questions.
