I Couldn't Talk About It, So I Wrote A Poem

Overindulgence, it’s just the way it is in this society. Overindulgence in sex, food, alcohol, drugs, spending, spending beyond the means and getting in debted for self-indulgence in vanity, materialism and social media. I am laying these issues out there, not as criticisms for there are two sides of a coin or two sides of each issue; however, open discussions of these matters are nil or a no no because of our society’s division. Sex is good and it is even considered one of the best exercises, but there are precautions to take to avoid pregnancy. Yet, abortion is the choice of many. Abortion, the right of a woman that became political. Yes, terminating a pregnancy because of health, rape, incest, forced into sex, like in abusive relationship or being drugged; but not because of having a good time with casual sex .. come on .. pregnancy is preventable. We need food to survive, grow and be in good health. Overindulgence in food results in obesity and multiple health problems and it is sad to see some people over eating and passing this unhealthy trait to their children. Alcohol and drugs are social issues, affecting all walks of life, young and old mentally, physically, emotionally. Overindulgence in alcohol or drugs result in suicides, accidents, imprisonments, violence, gun violence, death. Spending beyond the means from self-indulgence of being vain with botox, boob or booty jobs, tummy tuck and so on and getting top quality equipment, like phone to show off or post in social media …. Self-indulgence in materialism, buying topnotch vehicles, designer clothing, accessories, jewelries or getting better stuff than what the Jones have or getting or looking like the ones they see in social media. Self-indulgence in social media resulting in wanting to be like this or like that or like him or her resulting in depression and anxiety or worst of all resulting in losing everything from getting hooked with fraudsters. It is so sad that most lonely people and seniors are targeted by these impostors or syndicates recruiting these impostors and become willing participants in enabling and getting these fraudsters rich .. awful! Honestly, my heart breaks for most people blame the inflation for overspending or other people for overindulgence in alcohol or drugs, not themselves. Making excuses is easy, taking accountability is moot. Should I just sing .. it’s just “The Way It Is” .. or oh, baby, baby, it’s a “Wild World” ….
