Oh! <br />Wight of puny might <br />Junk the junk food <br />it’s dynamite <br />Shun the Sugar <br />it’s cyanide. <br />Avoid drinks and give up smoke <br />transform yourself into a nice bloke, <br />And you wont have diabetes nor stroke; <br />for depression cannot be <br />hidden in whirls of smoke <br />nor anxiety cannot be <br />shrouded by a joint of coke. <br />Nor Alcohol can dissolve the <br />molecules of stress <br />Nor amphetamine can <br />give you an ace in race. <br /> <br />The body tyrannizes by deluge of desires <br />bear the lashes of excesses diet <br />insatiably taken day and night; <br />It is attacked by army of trans fat <br />and terrorist of cholesterol. <br />The arteries are thickened <br />and body is sickened; <br />Diabetes and strokes becomes <br />unwanted guest, <br />A penalty of satisfying <br />wanton tastes. <br /> <br />But when a man of vision <br />performs yoga in all seasons, <br />that suffuses his cells with <br />rejuvenating divine oxygen; <br />Then hidden viruses <br />on suicidal mission <br />gets trapped in <br />fortified cellular garrison, <br />And the bullets of oxygen <br />punishes them for trespassing, <br />with the charges of treason, <br />And all pampered cell rejoices <br />in unison without reasons. <br /> <br />Be considerate; Be moderate <br />Be calm and cool <br />Don’t be a damn fool <br />Treat your body as a precious tool. <br />Drink a wine of joy and peace <br />or a wine of contentment and bliss; <br />For they are wines of health- <br />Nay all beings true wealth.<br /><br />ANJALI SINHA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wine-of-health/
