My Dinner Made Me Guilty

I had a super dinner last night
Complete with some fine wine.
Peter went to bed hungry
Because a job he could not find.

I started with a large plate of soup
And a salad with crab meat.
John and his family were so poor
They ate the scabs off their feet.

Then came my main course
A steak done medium rare.
Mark sat around an empty table
For days, his cupboards bare.

For dessert I had ice cream
Together with a lucious chocolate cake.
Martha and her husband couldn't even afford
To buy any flour to bake.

These people will still be hungry tomorrow
I didn't think of them when i paid my bill.
But what i alone had eaten that night
All their stomachs i could fill...
