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
