The McEnd

One nugget too many,

one fry too many,

one big mac too many.


A cheap meal at a heavy price.


Each burger is a breath of greasy air,

inflating the body like a balloon.


Your limbs are suspended.

Your motion is limited.

Your energy is removed.


Every movement becomes a struggle.


The brain can’t function on

Sugar, fat, salt,

and sugar,

and fat,

and salt.


Yet you can’t help yourself.

You come back—

Again and Again.


An addiction under a veil of golden arches.


A never ending cycle.

America has been McDonald’d

and this is the McEnd.
