Food We Don’t Eat

There is food for everyone

But some get too much of it

And some too little

Food is life

When we buy too much, it spoils

And needs to be thrown away

We tend to forgive

That some people don’t have enough

To keep their heart beating or

Their lungs breathing

One thought on “Food We Don’t Eat

  1. This is a quietly powerful reflection, and Alex’s words land with a gentle but undeniable weight. The simplicity of the lines makes the message even more striking—food, something so basic and universal, becomes a mirror for the imbalance we so easily overlook.

    The contrast between “too much” and “too little” is expressed with such clarity that it almost feels like a whisper… yet it echoes loudly. The reminder that excess leads to waste, while others struggle just to keep their heart beating, is both poetic and deeply human.
