It’s O.K. To Be Skinny Poem by Christina Sunrise

It’s o.k. to call someone skinny,
but not call someone fat,
what’s up with that?
In society we made it “bad”
to be fat, when all of us were
born to be fat,
it’s in our genes to protect us
when famine would last.
If you eat more than you exercise,
you will then soon realize
that you could get fat,
unless of course you
have a high metabolism
in which then you fit in,
fit in because it looks like
you work out in the gym.
Worth it’s weight in gold
I am told, came from
a time when it was encouraged
to be fat for you would get
more money from your
husband’s dad.
On some planets people
weigh less
because of gravity lesser force,
but not on Earth of course.
