hungry eyes (children going hungry and missing meals in school holidays) 03.08.15

something is not adding
this meal i will dissect
why in 2015 for food are children gagging
if anything this is not politically correct.
now we have a holiday interval
children are missing guaranteed nutrition
they may not like school that's verbal
but the eating part is a missed edition.
100 years ago was the first
yes it happened as far back as a century
but they managed to address hunger and thirst
they supplied our children with food and drink entry.
sorry but news is breaking
national obesity is on the rise
this is not a wind up and i am not faking
but in times of austerity how does it equalize.
we need a bit of ingredient
so we have clear clarity
Alison will supply and be obedient
she said politicians must work together so not needed is charity.
the "children society" are not fine
they have a figure
500 000 are living below the breadline
but will action this trigger.
food bank times are extending
because holiday equals 170 days shortage full
will "Leon restaurant chain" be pretending
are UK children really hungry or am i gullible.

( i have tried to get this to leon and a few food banks but what i want to no is - does anyone feel ashamed this is still happening in 2015 ? will this be my poem of the week ? i suppose you will have to wait and see if it goes up in the best phone box in the world. )

'Lots of the families, their agencies have had to come and pick up their food parcels for them. Because the families, they’re embarrassed to accept help, they’re embarrassed to admit that they can’t feed their children.’ Food bank manager UK.
Research in Lambeth, Hampshire and from one food aid provider who attended the workshop, reported increased demand during periods when families with children are unable to obtain free school meals The Trussell Trust identified a range of factors that may be triggers for needing food aid, including low income, ‘benefit delay’, ‘benefit changes’, delayed wages, domestic violence, sickness, unemployment, debt, refused crisis loans, homelessness and absence of free school meals during school holidays '
