Addicted to starvation

Idled hands extended
to capture the remnants
of humanity we seemed
to offer, when did we
forget we were equal?

Yes! Again you pulled me in right from the start, the question you ask here leaves the reader to truly ponder what have we become? Where is this world going? You nailed it on the head right here. Ending it with a question makes this opening stanza really profound and stick out.

Their eyes kept asking
questions we would
falter to answer, but
they smiled instead
verging the side of
laughter.

Beautiful rhyming here, love the description and words. It makes me feel and think that the questions we're asking about how can we come together are not taken seriously. That the ones who don't want to unite seem systematically unable to understand what really is important. But the ones who understand will rise above the uncaring and prove we can unite.

They would share
the warmth of a hug
with their little tiny
bodies, a gesture
of kindness that
most of us don't
even embody.

Lovely, puts a smile on my face. I see the people of the world uniting in a hug to embrace each other and help one another. The truth and sadness in your stanza is that most of us don't embrace in a hug or any kind of lovely gesture and it truly is what the world needs most now, well done placing that message in there.

Shame on us for
wasting time, when
we can unite to end
this crime. Let us
walk in their shoes
and give them ours.
How many days can
we stand it; or should
I say how many hours.

Powerful! We're all sitting around doing nothing, worried about our own affairs and not seeing the bigger picture. Sure we all have hardships but in a world full of hurt we must seize the day and help the ones we need to help. Shame on me even for not putting more of my time into helping the ones who need it most. You really put the reader in their place to make them see the world in a bigger light, to see what exactly needs to be done to stop the fathom, violence, and hurt.

We take little things
for granted, misuse
and abuse everything
we are handed. While
we are indulged in more
than what we deserve,
have we stopped to think
what little they have to
even conserve?
