Therefore You Are...Ms. Ku

You are what you eat, or so they say,
So I drift off in another place as if that was the case
& land upon consumers who have become the consumed
Dined and wined so much that they're left with no room
And still wondering how their eating habits seem to be no secret
Wondering:Just how do they know my choice of menu without a chance to read it
Trying to cover up the flavors they savored
with a Junior Mint and Breath Saver
That only disappeared into those previous flavors much later
Consumed like fire,
not to mention the speck left in between those pearly whites
That act as a story and tell what was composed in each bite
Now I don't mean to be nosy, but I admit I'm quite observant
Peeped the crumb on their cheek
& the spill on their tee
Must of been really gettin down, got evidence on the sleeves
Now this has nothing to do with breakfast, lunch, or dinner
Or those "diet days" standing in line at the ice cream vendor, [hmm?]
This is simply a call to awareness
of just who you become
and we often eat on the go,
eat on the stop, eat on the run
unaware of those who feed off of us
and observe what we are and have potential to become
We are what we consume
As the days go and come
We may have not noticed it thus far
But you speak, breathe, live what you consume
Therefore YOU ARE.....
