Sugar plantation
White slaves to the sweetest recipes
a tacky legacy of devoured calories
savory tooth snack always refused
bad day choccy bites selfishly consumed
puddings always so well deserved
nightmare kitchen walks observed
the diabetic needle and the pill awaits
the struggles to loose that weight
feet stuck in the syrup of bad taste
so shacked to the cane and beet
the Kcal warnings never bleep
tread the mine field of carefree obesity
the hidden you that you will never see
the explosion of good intentions fled
the weighing scales that always lied
a sweet moment on the lips
your life that the condition strips
a managed chaos, blind eclipse
dentures smiling from the glass
mountainous sugar like Everest
to eat it all is that your quest
is your empathy with me and sympathy less
those grains refined and us enslave
to spoon to soon us to our graves
