the ever expanding waistlines
in the bible belt
more a hangman’s noose
around the throat of science
evolving
into a circular argument against
what is plainly seen
and plainly planted
in scenic desperation
add more corn syrup
super size the daily regimen
of anemic fact based reporting
insulin prices are up
corn futures are up
kale is the devil
opioids are king
they keep punching new holes
into the bible belt
to keep faith propped up
in the face of global catastrophe
as waters spill over
like rippled bi-lipid layers
of fat free sugar induced comas
we have become constricted
by the constructed lies
we self prescribe
in an effort to seem healthier
fast food pandemic
hermetically sealed
in oceans of grease
disregarding surgeons
or generals
so out of breath
from waging a war
against gravity
another liter of holy water
made with cancer inducing
sugar substitution triggering
hypoglycemic visions
of the father
the son
burnt into the holy toast
the bible belt is so tight
it has restricted free thought
have a coke
you get cranky
when your blood sugar drops
