Clouds of Gray fill the sky, and tears escape them. I hear coughing, loud coughing. I know it's teberculosous. I think back to my father's childhood, unfortunately reminding me of now. No man to call Daddy. I'm seeing innocence crumble down, and it's NOT FAIR. What seems like desperation fills the air, as I pass by dyeing men and women in every tent I browse. My eyes become clouds; Just hovering over these people, these dyeing, desperate people, and doing nothing but feeling sorry. Rain escapes my eyes, and all my thoughts go gray.


The author's comments:
This article was written after I was given a writing prompt in Language Arts class. The prompt was "The color of hunger". When I thought hunger, I thought people dyeing. I have always hated when people complain about their "world ending problems" because they are never really world ending. If I've learned one thing in life, it's that anyone with a real problem, will stay quiet, because they dont want people feeling sorry for them. They dont want people giving them attention, because it would only remind them of the problem they are suffering through. I wrote this piece so that people would start to understand that somebody always has it worse, and to be greatful for what they have now, because someday, It's going to be gone.
