Suffered the sweetness...
you were wealthy enough
to leave us an inheritance
I don’t want to sign and accept it
but I guess it’s a compulsory gift
then I wish to waste every last of it
and leave nothing for my kids
I don’t want them to think
that I have hidden sugar
I don’t want them to see me
resisting the cravings for sweets
I have seen the monster
comes hidden inside it
I have seen it destroying you
inside your cleansing system
I spent the nights at the hospital
watching you suffer without sleep
your lips were stuck together
for the lack of liquid in you
everything your drink drained
just soon after you drank
side effects of sugar they said
but for me, that was the monster
I don’t want it, I will end it
I will not let it pass through me
how? Because
from the cross of Calvary
all be healed and blessed…!

touching testimonial here Vick.
My father died from the complications of diabetes, too young when I was still barely an
adult. May this serve as a warning and promote self-awareness to the many perils brought about by that killer disease.
