Diabetes Poem by Sophonie Asia Joseph

It's nothing to play with
this pain that is hated
it comes from the sick man
that roam our streets
sometimes during the day
sometime at night
you never know what hes thinking
but hes always watching
looking for you to slip
maybe eat a Lil bit
more than theres room
sometimes he gets your mother
or maybe your father first
but who he really want is you
but your young and naive
so you don't take care of yourself
love that sneaker bar
and that vanilla ice cream
while hes rubbing his palms together
he'll hit you during the first bite
your urinating quite often
then again you drink Pepsi
breakfast, lunch, and dinner
so we dismiss it
sticky bathroom floors?
Theres gotta be something more
Pepsi cant do all this damage
body not forming insulin
never even thought to question
sugar 600
got you in a diabetic coma


~love you lil brother~
