Fast Food Villanelle

Fast Food

Before you are gone you must see the light,
Know it well, get it stuck in your head,
Do not eat fast food every night.

Although eating a salad may cause one fright,
It's not so bad if its that or your dead.
Before you are gone you must see the light.

Hamburgers, pizza and fries isn't right,
If you feel sick to your stomach lying in bed,
Do not eat fast food every night.

Noticing your clothes are getting quite tight,
And people saying that you look over fed.
Then, before you are gone you must see the light.

Truly it's bad and the calories aren't light,
And since it's no good if you're as big as a shed,
Do not eat fast food every night.

Also you will stop feeling as free as a kite.
Obviously its true but it must be said,
Before you are gone you must see the light,
Do not eat fast food every night.
-Patrick


Explication

This is a villanelle that I created and I made it to address a point. When people think of food they usually think of social gathering and gourmet meals but there is a dark side to food, which is fast food and not eating enough healthy food. I tried to say that every one can't just eat fast food but they need to eat healthy also. In the modern busy world we live in it is easy to just not eat healthy, but that's bad. There are so many down sides to eating unhealthy food. This fits into my theme because everyone need to see both sides, the good and bad, of food. How many of the people who read this think they eat healthy enough?
