Don’t take my food stamp away
Please allow me survive
Don’t take my food stamp away
Please let me keep alive
This policy makers eat, please also allow me eat
This policy makers live, please also let me live
Sun shading her light and warm to every corner of the world
Without exclude these shabby and poor
As God’s love and mercy to every creature of he create
Without exclude any single one grass root in brutal desert
God give grassroot rain’s water and sun’s light and warm
God inborn grassroot equal right to survive, be alive and thrive
Let God’s love and mercy come into this policy maker’s heart
Let our hungers also can sit at dining table
Soon the eat no longer the privilege to just certain group
Soon the eat with all these who have not eaten
Let us also make table with fresh meat and vegetables
As well as with apples, bananas, strawberries
In this as cold as iceberg human community
Please don’t take the dear plate away from the shabby and poor
The plate, like the moon from heaven’s God
From which, ALL CAN EQUALLY EAT THE FOOD
From now on, what I pray no more than the
JUSTICE
OF
EATING RIGHT
