Junk Food – Written March 2006 (Aged 31)

Junk Food

so it is true
apparently parents know best
it’s cold,
so wrap up warm and put on a vest
more junk food
that will leader to a cardiac arrest
so it is true
that whilst parents dally on hang ups
the type,
not resolved from their own past
as they get hung up
and think, me, me, me…
so, it is time for endless t.v
no interaction, no stimulation
some kind of murdered realism
as they feed their children yet more crisps
is it any wonder,
they start to show signs of autism
would you not be introverted
with parents so obsessed
feed them more junk food
the one that will lead to their cardiac arrest

James Garratt – March 2006
