Your Selfishness is Obese
The belly of the orange beast is swollen
Poverty infects America like the plague
Post rent,
Social Security couldn’t buy you an egg
Teenage girls are sticking their fingers down their throats purposely
While others are struggling to get something to digest
Rich consuming readers digest diets
While the obese do the trying to fit into anorexic pants dance
Tiabo not fighting the fat lies
Yoga stretching the truth
Organic is horse shit
You’ve got a 30 day plan to realize yellow dye number 5 is in every fucking thing
The belly of the beast is swollen
While the belly of America growls
Poverty infects America like the plague

http://deepundergroundpoetry.com/poems/57940-capitalism-s-shame/
its like we decided to write a Duet!
Awesome piece -- I love the direction of your thought, and the sense of humour to lessen the ultimate pain of futility. I tend to do the same. If you read it --- look for the Giant Gerbils ! lol

Dear T C M N
I am happy that you addressed this issue in your poem. The higher the socioeconomic level the lower the weight. The poor get fat as they cannot afford the most nourishing food. Anorexia has spread from being a disease of young women to now being a disease of all ages and stages and sexes.....We hate fat people and this is the last taboo - making fun of fat people....but we offer supersized meals and there is a new show on the food channel shows a man who just enters eating contests....We are fat for a complex combination of reasons - eating junk food, being very sedentary, having jobs where we sit all day, commuting to work for long hours and architectural reasons like having to commute to the store to get a litre of milk....Worse...diets do not work...every year new diet books are published and every year people buy them.....women are even worse off as they are shorter and fat clings to them for childbearing reasons and hormonal changes.....
I have written about this and I applaud
you concise but complete poem
