The Food Pantry The line out the door __________________________________________ Was oh so looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong The wait Looked hard. Sad too. The people who came in just needed more. One asked for a milk One asked for veggies But they all looked hungry. People of all kinds came together in the cold To share food with people that don’t have a ton These are the helpers that we need to see. They are the example we need to follow. The problem of hunger that is happening now Is one of the simplest problems of all. There are problems like politics and war How can we solve the hardest problems When we cannot solve the simplest? I know you will not pay much heed To the words I am saying. But I want you to know I tried. This poem first appeared in West Side Campaign Against Hunger.
