The Shame That Comes With Fat

Anyone can become fat in a matter of days,
Some have a choice others give in to
obesity because it is organic,
Nevertheless, it causes people
to panic,
Acquaintances and family members will shun
you at all cost,
Many fat people even get "put down" by their
bosses,
Fat folks get left out in the cold without
any choices,
Everyone loves the beautiful people,
slim, trim and lean,
but don't get overweight!
You won't be heard or seen,
They will even make up clever names
such as porskter, or blob,
But does anyone help to get the 
problem solved?
Most critics remain shallow and unremorseful,
hoping and praying the fatty genes never
visit,
Because if it does, they will run shrieking
to the nearest clinic.
