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

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.
