17 <br /> FOOD <br /> The blazing sun cooks the skin during this summer heat <br /> People linger around with their impatient bellies <br /> They growl to be satisfied <br /> Anticipation for those simple packages of food grows thick in the air <br /> Rations of food are their saving grace during a time of turmoil <br /> The Packages are given out <br /> One <br /> By <br /> One <br /> Hands hastily open the packages once home <br /> They are filled with bruised fruit and vegetables <br /> The only savagleble thing are canned food or meat <br /> It's a struggle to keep them preserved in the summers unforgiving heat <br /> Some have no proper storage with blissful cold air <br /> Money flies by when your trying to keep food from leaving the table <br /> Their howling stomachs can not be kept at bay for long. <br /> - Maria-Jose Guerrero Hernandez <br /> 2 <br />
