There he sits, alone and desperate.  He could hear his stomach burning down the energy through his weakened body.  Three days till Thanksgiving, three more days of hunger to bear until he would receive some expired ham from that kind woman down the street.  The prayer he mumbled echoed in his ear as he watched, with his eyes glued to the floor, too weak to look up.  He watched the crowd hurried by in their high heeled leather boots and warm stylish trainers with symbols shaped like a tick, that were often given by the school teachers.  He wondered whether those shoe marks were given by the young tutors too, who was lucky enough to be the head of education.  As the cluster of men, women and children went by, he could always pick up some words spoken aloud.  Some chat in high shrilly voices; some, boys, complained about school work and something or someone named 'Dude' who they always call upon whenever they see him, similar words such as 'idiot' and ‘retard’ gets in the way often.  Once in a while, teenage girls who just happen to be returning from those huge buildings that they call 'The Mall' gossip in low whispers; one said that her mum had not given her enough right to food!  By then, the old man sighed and took out his last piece of his own personal eatable value and ate silently, in his mind, he thought, ‘where is my right?’

The right to food, as a basic human right applies to everyone.  The beggars, the homeless, the orphans and the poor.  All those people deserve their rights toward food.  They are supposed to join religious feasts on festivals, they should be educated, to read and write, they shall be dressed properly in clean and cozy clothes with shoes, they are the ones who deserves the right to their wishes.

However, their top ten on their most wanted list would be something they had prayed day and night for, and that would be food.  In fact, 30 thousand children die from hunger everyday.  Every 3.2 seconds a human being die from hunger.  36 of the poorest nations on earth are still exporting food to richer countries in spite of money.  854 million people are hungry across the nation everyday.  10.1 million children die from hunger before reaching their fifth birthday.  This isn't fair; the people need a proper explanation.  They cannot live on anymore with hunger and disease; they need a proper life; they are supposed to be loved and cared for.  We are all human beings; we all deserve a basic human right, and it will be the right to food.

If one fifth of the families on earth manage to donate some food for certain periods of time, hunger will reduce!  If one fourth of the schools plan to raise money, we will reduce hunger.  It each one of us tries not to waste food in three full weeks, we will make a difference!  Reducing hunger may not be done by one, but once we are a whole, hunger will recede.  It all matters deep inside our hearts, where we care and protect mankind.  It's just a basic human right: The Right To Food.
