What a pity
for those in the city
who thrive on junk
and become wardees of the bunk.

Revelling on junkies
swaggering on death hunkies
so sweet may end up
as so bitter.

Sucrose and glucose
piling up
until the little white rose
was placed on the damp coffin
outside the lone village church.

No oral bev like water
hydrogen and oxygen divinely bound
Before you down that fizzy drink
think of Type I and Type II.

Five fruits a day
prevent a date with mayday
grains and vegetables aid the span
and hold at bay the surgery scan.

Chemicals and preserves
that's what you gulp
in flashy cafes
and shining restaurants.

A meal at home is worth
a thousand by striped waiters
A bottle of water is worth
a thousand rainbowed cocktail.

This generation dies
a bite at a time
seventy unattainable
at sixty,we mindlessly cheer
'cause many eat poison
on the highway
cruising towards a certain grave
meant for those who
think nature is nothing but archaic.
