Killing Kilojoules

my noble efforts seem to be in vain 
my sweat army fights a huge enemy 
In every ugly battle we take strain 
battle weary troops are my penalty 
my weak will my only soft weaponry 

defiant kilojoules taunt my sweat troops 
they gather themselves in organized groups 
their guerrilla warfare holds the war reign 
a sneaky snack attack caused a big whoops 
now I have to rethink my whole campaign
