Ask a famished kid
in any deprived ghetto
deep within
the bowels of the world
and he will say
starvation
was not his choice
poverty
was not an alternative.
But the devil
says
the choice
was yours.
Change motivates,
motivations change
change responds,
responses change.
The power to choose
is still yours.

Very true! We have the power to make at least one kid's stomach full, to erase fear from his mind and to ignite hope! We just need to choose!
I don't know if that is what you meant, but that is what I understood from the poem! :-)
Keep it coming, Ravi!
Thank you Arun for leaving your comment - It's a great feeling to see that your scribblings are getting noticed!
And, talking about the poem, I had hidden 4 different ideas into the first 3 stanzas - and by adding the last 2, I made multiple different threads. So, what you read is just one!
Keep reading!
