Anil Deo Poet Acrostic

Sugar and Candy

S is for Sugar, once a sweet medicine (it still is, in places)
U do know it was medicine in India in the tenth century -
G God knows why it is so addictive these days (money?)
(As is tobacco, another medicine from the Other Indians Columbus misnamed)
R Refined, white as snow, and like it AVALANCHES of sugar keep on killing

CANDY Crunch is a game that exposes itself and Murderous Sugar
A anyone who wins. game by game, sees the pancreatic explosions
N named SUGAR CRUNCH and SUGAR STARS (awesome; super, delightful)
D Do you recall seeing stars at breakfast when the pre-diabetes hit you?
Y can't we see "refinement" was a put-on job, fake as WHITE sugar, and half pregnant?

Anil Deo January 15, 2020 at 6:56 PM Yes, gentlemen, sugar in small doses, and when young ... may be wonderful. Something about Age and Sugar don't mix may be captured in terms like "Sugar Daddy," - not a compliment. LOL! shalom, shalom friends

Harry Horsman January 15, 2020 at 9:16 AM As for sugar Anil, ate heaps as a kid, but then we burnt it off, using so much energy, mainly playing football. great poetry,

Paul Callus January 15, 2020 at 8:26 AM You do well to open the eyes of those who fail to notice certain things, Anil. Sugar can somehow be part of a healthy diet, but otherwise it increases the risk of many dangerous conditions mostly related to blood and heart. ~ Regards & Peace // paul
