Ban Sugar

I know well enough that where the homeless
drink together under trees in public parks
it is quite logical for them to leave their bottles
in uneven circles as they depart.
it illustrates their drunken unawareness.
Who with a heart could complain at honest junk living?

I am less forgiving of the origins of the rubbish
that covers urban areas, where plastic bottles
that once held sugary drinks stain the landscape
like bloches on the face of an acne ridden youth.
The dropping of the bottles by those who drink
the rubbish are the final act of unawareness
in a long chain of corporate greed and waste.
The drinkers could resist the tendency to be obese
and get fit by picking up their cans and wrappers,
and then buy less junk, and create a cleaner future.
If they did this they would disprove to me beyond all doubt
that SUGAR ADDICTION LEADS TO BLINDNESS.
