the movie Fed Up
will make you never want to
eat sugar again
food corporations
like tobacco companies
want you addicted
they will argue that
sugar isn't bad until
the people rise up
junk food should be in
a back room hidden like porn
not at the check stand
and certainly not
on cafeteria trays
in our children's schools
schools are training grounds
for obesity sorrow
and short painful lives
statistics suggest
we most certainly need a
so-called nanny state
like we do for meds
booze tobacco weed smack meth...
sugar is a drug
as addictive as
cocaine and anything else
out there and it kills

five years old standing
next to mom's dead body a
needle in her arm
private funerals
are for families whose shame
is stronger than love
i've walked a tightrope
over a sea of glass shards
but i didn't fall
i was just lucky
mom says i live a charmed life
no more complaining
my anger hugs me
like an old friend who forgot
i'm a deceiver
there is still music
in my heart and in the air
i can almost dance

I'm wordless, my friend
My heart knows wherefore you come
My sister. Cold. Dead
Her boy found her there
His own mother. Unmoving
Day before Christmas
OD'd on Oxy
Handful down. Forgot to breathe
No lesson was learned
I loved her dearly
She who was funny and smart
Gone now and for what
I got very drunk
I screamed, tore open my skin
In bed for a week
Laid her near Mama
Sang a song to send her on
And let the tears come
My heart knows wherefore you come
My sister. Cold. Dead
Her boy found her there
His own mother. Unmoving
Day before Christmas
OD'd on Oxy
Handful down. Forgot to breathe
No lesson was learned
I loved her dearly
She who was funny and smart
Gone now and for what
I got very drunk
I screamed, tore open my skin
In bed for a week
Laid her near Mama
Sang a song to send her on
And let the tears come
