Food Wasted Or Food Waisted? Poem by Pleasant Dabbs

Is it 1.3 billion tons of food are wasted or
Is it 1.3 billion tons of food are waisted?

If the food wasted by the rich
(Because they have more than enough)
Could be eaten by the poor
And those who are dying from a lack of it
We would all be rich...all tummies filled, all hankerings satisfied

Shame on you rich, shame on us all in this great nation
We have more than enough, yet we throw away
And waste an atrocious amount of what we have.

Solution? Build a track/road/runway from here to Africa
Just when you want to throw away some food
Or when you're ready to throw away good leftovers
Fill up your bags, suitcases, trunks, pickups, vans, trailers
Load them up to the max then take the road to its end
Feed the poor in Africa...the whole continent
Then the poor children there will have waists
And not just skin and bones.
