Endangerment of your health
For the sake of food
We don't need fast food
It's just convenient to us
Let's call it fast 'death'
Cheaper meals appeal
And packaged meals have shelf life
But is it worth it
Is it worth the weight
That most Americans gain
I do not think so
Is it worth your health
High cholesterol, blood pressure,
Diabetes too
An epidemic
Is occurring all around
All for convenience?
I do not get it
My body is worth much more
A blessing from God
Much like my children
Which I would like to see grow
And be smart with health
The example is
Ours to set to those around
Why not be stronger
Stand up for your health
Be kinder to animals
Help save the planet
Provide a future
That will be brighter for kids
Teach them compassion
Vegan is my way
For my health everyday
Lord, help me lead others
Help me show them truth
Truth from the lies they were taught
One like 'Drink your Milk'
Others like be sure
To eat your meat for protein
And cheese is healthy
Whole grains and fruits and
Vegetables are the foods
Made to sustain you

Post a Commentgreat poetry here and I love your reasons for being a vegan...
Awesome poem, Leslie! You made some very good points, too!
Good thoughts. Why kidd other animals to survive when it is not necessary? Because we can? Lousy reason.
Thanks for sharing, keep it up!
