Rein In The Five Senses

Rating: 4.8


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

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Lot of undesirable junk food we consume -icecreams, burgers, pizzas, aerated drinks, alcohol... the list is endless.Lots of cholesterol, fats, carbs, salt, sugar ...much more than what the body can handle. We are enticed as we watch these being prepared and presented colorfully by chefs. We are consciously poisoning our bodies. The motto should be 'eat to iive' and not the other way! Healthy food, nutritious food taken in small quantities, plus some exercise, will go a long way in keeping us fit as a fiddle!

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!

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.
