Avoid Gluttony
Freedom can make me glad.
Freedom can make me sad.
I seize two plates of food, one savory, one bad.
I choose health-giving food not being mad.
I scrape the unhealthy food in a trash bin.
The garbageman will dump junk food like sin.
Like fat, sin can cling to me and make me not well.
Sin, a dish best served in hell.
About this poem
If you must eat junk food, do so in moderation.
