Gourmet Genocide

• Ah, Family Re-Union, Such a Sight to See
• Together, at last with The Family, a Great Time
• but let me share with you, what I perceived at mine
• Diabetes, Cancer, Hypertension, Obesity
• of my Grands, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, Nephews and Nieces
• and they were all, Happily, consuming the causes of these Diseases
• everywhere you looked, you saw dark colored soda
• root beer, Pepsi and Coca-cola, that was the mature
• to our children, they dispensed these strange colored,
• super sugar concentrated drinks, I asked,
• what are the expected results, if sugar is killing the adults
• phosphoric acid, in soft drinks, can cause calcium loss
• weakening the bones, one example of our rising healthcare costs
• they were shocked at me, over fifty, taking no medications
• six days a week in the gym, not fat, naturally slim
• they reacted as if I was the sick one, not them
• I was almost convinced, something was wrong with me
• until the music came on, I danced pain free
• they were moving rhythmically, not to music, but misery
• how could we feed these diseases to our children, I could not justify
• I could only sit there, shaking my head, bewildered, asking why…R.D.Revilo
