Too Much Sugar

The world seems to thrive on sugar's debilitating taste. This sweet drug corrupts the body, turning good health into diabetic waste. The sudden burst of pure energy ebbs within minutes of the tongue's caress. Sluggish movements crawl through the limbs, causing physical and emotional duress. Sugar's addicting kiss spikes the blood, playing twister with the chemicals inside. This nectar of man made confection swallows health within pleasure's temporary tide. Sugar calls out with lips of sweet passion, increasing the body's craving for more. But too many sweets cause a meltdown within the human body's insulin core.
