Unless I Want To

Why has the world been telling me that my yard is full of weeds,

When it seems to be full of edible herbs?

Why did my school urge me so strong as they did

To eat the food pyramid from the bottom up?

It made me weak and tubby!

Then they told me I was old and needed to replace both my knees,

But my knees have been fixed by free exercises!

The entire surface of our world

Runs on greed and false advertising.

I’m calling my power back.

I get to decide

What is right for me.

And I’m not going to take it lying down 

Unless I want to.
