careless

despite our

best efforts to kill

ourselves, the body

does

it's best to keep

us alive, to

keep us healthy.

but we

feed it junk.

sugar,

processed foods.

we smoke

and drink,

feed ourselves drugs.

we leap off cliffs,

we dive

deep

into the pool of

fools.

we want to touch

the stars,

climb

Everest.

we're not satisfied

in being

content and happy on

the ground.

we're so careless

with what we

put into our minds,

into 

our mouths.
