Bad Shepherds
I just
I think it’s astounding
That decades and decades
Of the obesity problem
Growing and growing and growing
With more and more medical intervention
Than ever before
With more information available
Than ever before
With bariatric surgery as
“The cure!”
That the obesity epidemic
Is as alive and thriving
As it ever was.
I wonder
How many more decades it will take
For the doctors to realize
That perhaps
The patients aren’t irreverent —
Stubborn, idiotic
Dense donkey asses—
Perhaps
The doctors are bad shepherds.
