Coca Cola Addiction

Coca Cola Addiction



Poison to 
The system
Brown sugar fizz
Sweetly sucked up refreshment
That caffeine and honey coated advertisement
Selling the taste
Momentarily
On the tongues of better life
Bitterness

The falsehood of immediacy
Instant gratification
And the better life will be
Teaching the world
To sing in perfect harmony
Sung from the screaming throats 
Of hyper active children

Coca Cola addiction
Poison of
The system

Daily consumption
One in the millions
Hooked on the juice
Of a better life

Its better if it tastes so sweet
Better by design
And brainwashed imagery
Better for your children
Who want the sickly sweetness 
Of its bubbly fizz 
That never quenches 
Their thirst
