how many

by Alaina - Not entered

The sun shines down
On all creatures.
The expanse of water
Shelter many more.
There is no division among animals,
save the hunt for food.
Why do we hurt and kill?
Is it right?
Do we sacrifice
the millions who die
for the good of humanity?
How many die
because they have no money?
How many are killed by greed?
How many lives are taken
for senseless causes?
Can we prevent this?
For How Many?

Reason for writing:

    I think it is a poem that expresses the current state of our world.
