Food
A starving child cries out for food
As his distended belly extrudes
His cries seem to fall on deaf ears
And he succumbs in hunger's tears
A young girl think that she's too fat
So she doesn't keep her food down
She becomes victim to anorexia's wrath
Skin and bones is the aftermath
Other people may eat to suppress pain
And are in denial of their weight gain
Soon they will become obese
Many will succumb to this disease
