Famine

Today I feel sick,
Nauseous, and a hypocrite
Not the usual feeling I get when I don’t want to eat.

Today I saw a picture of a 7-year-old,
Somewhere in Ethiopia,
A tear rolling down his cheek,
As he stood between the corps of his parents,
His stomach bloated form hunger, a fly on his left eye.

And all I could think of is “how ironic”
That all of us with Anorexia
In Europe or the USA
Could have died
The exact same way.
