Waist to Feet By:Shanaye West-Simato
As a child his mama didn't stop him
He developed bad habits
Filling his belly all the way to the rim
Eating anything he could grab, from deer to rabbits
He developed diabetes
It hurt to see him take all those tablets
Ate himself to sleep
Drank himself silly
Ate himself home to the sheep
Something needed to be done, really
He was not warned
Until a disease he did reap...finally
Sugar to the sky
I watched him deplete
Blood pressure at an all time high
I watched him in his defeat
That diabetes took his life
The coffin covered him from Waist to Feet
