Since it seems like obese people in Mississippi are now starting to get 2nd class treatment (I heard that state is proposing not serving obese people in restaurants), here's a free-verse poem I wrote for smokers AND the obese, Two groups that are having their freedoms taken away.
I know how it feels to be turned down in society,
Because I'm a Black person living in America.
And living as a Black person ain't easy,
When it's hard as heck for me to even make one buck.
If you smoke cigs or if you're obese,
You might be getting a taste of discrimination
Simply based on those choices you made in your own life.
My advice is simple if you run into a fascist.
Don't accept that person's insults.
Do what older generations of my race did.
And that is defend your freedoms by fighting and challenging lies from society.
