The doctor’s warning slaps
The food out of wanting mouth
A litany of what-nots and dangers
Killing my heart with high cholesterol
The tub of food proclaims a warning
To cholesterol-challenged organs
Omg cholesterol, chants it
My hand flew itself back
Like the child sensing stove fire
Omg, cholesterol! Omg!
Blood pressure shoots through the sky
Omg, cholesterol! Omg!
An alarm sets off
Scaring the daylights out of me!
Food manufacturer fails to label products well
Education takes care of that
Zero, not a sibling of the alphabet
Belonging to separate families, these two
Say after me, “Zero milligram cholesterol”
Again
Zero milligram cholesterol lowers LDL
Bad, bad lipoprotein,
You, Low Density Lipoprotein
Be gone from my heart
Give me zero milligram cholesterol
Scaring the daylights out of me!
Talking about Omg cholesterol!
Alphabet "O," not of the Number species
Scaring the daylights out of me!
Talking about Omg cholesterol!

"Paper Is Not Silent!" My dream has loved paper so much for so long because it gave influence to the parched voice of a fashionista poet. Finding this outlet, that voice is now replete with expressive sound.
