Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

I Promised Not To Do It Again

More salt, more sugar
More sour, more sweet

More beats, more energy
More cravings, more addiction 

Bitter blood, sweet blood 
Diluted blood, thick blood

Screaming vessels, stenotic vessels
Pounding vessels, sluggish vessels

Pressures rising, failing pumps
Tears tearing, organs inflaming   

More mirrors, more fears
Calorie counts failing, organs deteriorating 

Too much salt, too much sugar
Too much work, to fix the extremes
