Convenience Kills

The lack of effort required to do the daily tasks expected of you Has withered both your mind and strength Your life cut short from greater length Your struggles are emotional To ease, you are devotional Your body wastes in atrophy Your mind is a catastrophe Your time is passed pushing buttons On packaged foods you are a glutton You exercise your tongue to speak while your heart and limbs are getting weak Entertainment, fast and loose, around your neck has placed a noose Put it in the microwave Ensure yourself an early grave Healing methods are ignored as too much work, while fat is stored Your sedentary life goes by and now you sit and wonder why you are so sick with doctor bills? Too late you see convenience kills © Mike Wise 7/15/14
