Health
We eat factory made, ready to eat food
Full of preservatives, for health not good
We eat food stuffs many months old
As not expired, the package told
Eating in hotels, road side stalls
Without thinking about its pitfalls
Tasty food entices our mind
To our stomach we're unkind
We neither exercise nor walk
About them we only talk
Using gadgets for every job
All physical activity we rob
Glued to mobile all day long
For little rest our eyes long
We have time for everything
Except cooking and eating
Nature, the lungs of our life
We destroy adding to our strife
Potable water, used for drinking
Its quantum, rapidly dwindling
Happy mind our biggest wealth
Also a cause for good health
With negatives, we ruin our days
It is high time we change our ways
Let's make health and happiness our aim
If neglected others we cannot blame
Good health bestows everything
Without it we are reduced to nothing
If we alter the way we live our day
We'll be healthy, I can surely say
