    Refuse to change

    The taste of lunch,
    the taste of death,
    the taste our bakers
    are daily putting on the shelf;

    The taste of sugars,
    the taste of sweets,
    the taste of appeal
    will lay one cool, calm, beneath;

    The taste of salts
    that resides in our face,
    Who is at fault
    for the foods on our plates?

    Who can be accused, who can be blamed,
    when our health is yet poor, and we still refuse to change?

    This is deep, true and can be applied to any appetite. Well articulated and precise.

    Ain't that the truth.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
