The weight loss farms

Would like you to feel

Fat, gross, obese,

Desperate, left out, alone.

That’s how they make their money
 
 

Entrepreneurs

Would like you to feel

Afraid, compliant, passive

Avid, ambitious & witless

That’s how they make their millions
 
 

All the chemist chains

Would like you to feel

Fragile, ill, alone

Troubled, frail and foul

That’s how they sell their pills.
 
 

Insurance conglomerates

Would like you to feel

Vulnerable, as if, really,

You had something to lose.

That’s how they sell you nothing.
