When you wake up
Will there be food today?
Will the grain silo be full?
Will it be as empty as your gut?

When you get to the farm
Work till the sun goes down
Will you wonder where all the food goes?
Will you be able to feed your kids? 

Will the farmers' grains 
We harvested today
Wind up on your plates?
Will it feed your country men?

With thousands of children starving 
Why is your produce sold to rich nations?
Why is the food your people need 
Winding up fed to cattle?

When you wake up
While stretching your arms be the sound of the bombs 
Wrecking the lands that you've sown?

Will your children live
With the threat of war every day?
Will they live their lives always questioning why 
Weapons take precedence over people?

When the sun sets
Warmth fading slowly
Will you fear for your life, all through the night 
Will you feel any better when the day breaks?

Will the house that you built
With your dad when you were young
Withstand the bombardment of falling armaments? 
Walls hold more than memories.
