| Notes | The speaker of the poem compares the life of his students, happily eating lunch, and the seagulls that snatch up their leftovers, to that of Bangladeshi children, who are currently starving. This is most likely in reference to the Bangladeshi Famine, 1974, or its aftermath. 1.5 million deaths were caused by the famine and it is considered one of the most serious famines in modern history. |
