this hanging tongue
permissive brain's blue eyed boy
a much pampered.rogue
doesn't care for health
suggests gorging.on street food
purse emptied by.stealth
tongue's.pleasure is brief
food pushed down oesophagus
puts belly in.strife
with increased.workload
the signal given a bit late
man's turmoil it goads
most ailments -food caused
also by liquid intake
by.plot-man is socked
other men, vendors
are part of this plot to sell
we, to waste, rendered
lovely recipes
colorfully presented
we fall.in a heap
culprits-tongue and eyes
and the nostrils too join
rein them in-don't shy
being close to brain
they have undue influence;
to stop we should train
let super brain work
for a holistic approach;
food's wrong.side.is dark
let super brain work for a holistic approach; food's wrong.side.is dark........touching expression dear poet! Thanks for sharing this beautiful poem....10
I agree with what you're saying in the poem and in the notes about it. However you should check the spelling in your notes; e should be we, et should be eat and ive should be live.
Thank you dear poet. will make the necessary spelling corrections.

Our taste buds often betray us! We gobble all that satisfies our palate and contract bodily ailments like sugar, cholesterol and increased blood pressure besides obesity! If we learn to tame our tongue and withstand its temptations, we can save doctors' bill and save our body also!
Thank you, Valsa George, for your comments.
