As a child no one offered me fruit or vegetables
No one seemed to care much that I ate
I was called picky
Only wanting grilled cheese sandwiches because it was all I really knew
Never much of a fan of meat
Something my mom loved to eat
I like crunchy things
I like cold things
Lettuce calls to me
Carrots feed my inner bunny
I do really love honey
And I love candy
Ice cream makes me happy
I like everything I've ever eaten that was green
Lots of kids don't get the chance to figure out these things
I consider my ability to be a blessing
Reorganizing
Changing the world so babies are not hungry
No more tummy aches aplenty
No more mother's & fathers fretting
Clean water for drinking and bathing
Wouldn't that be amazing
Imagining it is everything
If everyone capable started lifting
Poverty no longer stricken
Kids peacefully sleeping
School caring who's actually learning
Teachers understanding
Principals dancing
Throwing more lifelines
Than condescending actions
I know this can happen
If everyone took off their shit colored glasses
