SAD

SAD is very, very sad Consuming food-like items daily Soon we're doing bad Jiving around, living life vaguely Clear vision is what's missing Stumbling and falling day and night Our beautiful health we're dismissing And slowly but certainly we're losing our sight Three squares a day, I heard them say There must be breakfast, lunch, and dinner Getting a few snacks too, the American way But so many are losing, so who's the winner? Excess sodium and added sugar Covertly, life becomes more imbalanced Anger increasing and love is meager Over life becomes more calloused High-fat dairy, red meat, and cancer-forming We blindly play in debauchery Living for opulence but we're harming While this sordid path illuminates an ominous augury SAD is so sad Eating loads and loads of CRAP FOOD is being ignored and the world is going mad Being caught in a pen, a slothful trap I don't want a Standard American Diet I want to be a Healthy-American-Powerfully-Progressing-Yonder.
