The title "Complainers" means people complain about little things when their are so many bigger things in the world to complain about.

How I interperet the poem

Responding to the poem

I think this poem is very true. Kids say their starving when they haven't eaten in a couple hours. People in this world havent eaten in days. Maybe weeks. They don't complain. They are used to it. So many people take thhings for granted.
