A Diet for Our Eyes and Our Souls

It’s all well and good, all these calorie counts,

and for the government, to cut down our amounts,

but to truly become healthier, we need another goal,

we need to have a diet, for our eyes and our souls,

 

as a garish island of lovers, who make some suicides,

is a poisonous dish for our souls and our eyes,

so, is the slating of the stars, who have fallen,

it turns a family, into a mob, where all things are swollen,

 

cookies of another type, telling us to buy,

a desperate rehash of greed, where purity comes to die,

though smart houses gleam, a light is doused within,

as the soul becomes so heavy, prolonging such a sin,

 

but it’s normal, and popular, therefore it must be right,

you can’t argue with the numbers, who make the insight,

so, watch away, buy away, to become a fleshing robot,

never mind the wholesomeness, that you’ve forgot,

 

when it comes to our consumption, this is the takeaway,

in watching all these dirty screens, it makes a sorry day,

it’s sanctioned, and sponsored, by those who play with trust,

I don’t know about you, but this is visual toxic crust,

 

instead, of trying to boringly, seek out the body beautiful,

there are too many mistakes today, be more dutiful,

it’s not the food we eat, it’s what we see, that takes its toll,  

it’s time to start a diet, for our eyes and our souls.
