the hunger strike on campus

you can't help
but laugh a little as the protestor
cries for help,
saying that
she's starving and near
death
because she skipped her 
snack between
meals while
screaming
about death
to others.
no snickers bar for her,
no bagel,
or bag of chips,
no ice cream or latte
from Starbucks,
no peanut butter chocolate
granola bar.
dinner is nearly an hour
away.
but she's doing her
part.
poor thing is wasting away.
she's faint and can barely
move her
lips.
