The opening lyric says it all for societies attitude towards third world debt "How can you say that your not responsible? What does it have to do with me?" Some people are of the narrow-minded view charity starts at home. When in actual fact we have an obligation as human beings to aid our fellow man. we are punishing this generation for it's great-grandparents mistakes

Are you talking about the issue of hunger or just the song? The song is a beautiful reaction to seeing those less fortunate, and part of life is exploring what we see around us. Did you want to see plenty of posts debating why hunger exists or what plans people have about alleviating hunger in the world? I wasn’t sure. I have been freaked about hunger in my life—wondering what can be done about it. A wise thinker offered a not-so-comfortable answer but I believe it has validity. Life is full of balance and balance does not mean that the scales are always equally weighted. We could not recognize darkness if light didn’t exist to define it. There will always be starving people to define obese people. We do not live with the task of obliterating life. Still life offers its realms of study and if diminishing hunger was going to be a highlight in my life, I would have to find a way to encourage people to be more loving and smarter—not so they would open their wallets wider but so they would realize that procreation is not a knee-jerk reaction but rather a wonderful gift—we can create life! We do not always sit around and think—I can create life! We don’t say, when I create life, I want to nurture and nourish this new life splendidly. Instead, we delightfully say, oh! It’s a baby! A baby is coming! even if we haven’t eaten a decent meal in days and have no idea where the next is coming from as if misery does love company instead of just being miserable and nothing at all that a loving person would want to share with someone they love. People who study trends have found an awful paradoxical reality—feed the poor and the poor will create more poor. No one wants to hear this—it’s ugly news that reminds us of how powerless we are in many situations. It suggests we aren’t as smart or loving as we imagine ourselves to be and it places the solution close to our hands but leaves it out of reach because we are afraid to look at when and why we procreate. Our problem is not really hunger but irresponsible procreation. If we only created what we could feed, we would not see hunger but our human minds don’t think like this. We are shockingly driven to create humans we can’t feed. I believe in a higher intelligence that in my mind could be kinder and should know better and I also believe the higher intelligence is kinder and does know better so this is not the answer. The answer is then to back up and hope that someday I possess sufficient insight to see beyond what I have seen or merely conclude that for now, this love logic does not have appeal for us. Someday it may and then we will procreate in complete love—seeing hunger, abortion, rape, and abused children disappear as our study of these subjects will be over.
