Consumer Royale

Yorke

Have no pity for the overweight,
the out of breath at the garden gate.
The struggle to get in and out of cars,
consumer of syrup and chocolate bars.

Walking sticks and mobility scooters,
the difficult bras encasing hooters.
Red faced men and lard arsed women,
their promise of tomorrow slimming.

Condemn me now, I'm for the blaming,
in this campaign, this body shaming.
So many things beyond control,
my ugly skin and shallow soul,
but when I walk I leave no hole.

People say I'm out of touch,
I think that we accept too much,
fat piggy people should disgust.

Their need,
selfish
greed,
want,
desire,
gluttony,
feed,
pig,
and
opinionated.

Big is beautiful,
Big and proud.
And all the while,
the dying sound,
cry of starvation,
die of starvation,
you,
You lie of starvation!
because the pudding was not chocolaty enough!
because there is no ice cream left,
if your wanting mouth needs to consume,

feast on torment of starving children,
drink only tears of broken mothers.

    I like this. It had a good meter to it as I read it. Just seemed to click . Well rhymed. Good message.
