Line Gauthier Poet Choka

Gluttony

ghastly gluttony 

one of seven deadly sins
with appalling good reasons

total self disrespect 
abusing one's own body
that wonderful mechanism

no remorse no thought
millions starving and dying

balancing haves and have nots

M. L. Kiser October 23, 2018 at 6:23 PM Food is food whether it's $1000. a plate or $5. People can enjoy and digest an expensive meal in good conscience though there are many starving; best of luck in the contest. Line Gauthier October 23, 2018 at 8:36 PM Food somehow tastes so much better when people aren't starving around you. Thanks for your lovely visit and comment, ML.
