To The Parents Of Toxic Children

In this toxic body

I just feel out of place

The food I eat is "normal"

And so is my living space

But what they do not tell me

And what I do not know

Is toxins fill my body

Every where I go

They're in my food

And in my hair

They're on my clothes

And in the air

Toxins in my bottled water

And even from my sink

I feed them to my children

As they eat and drink

Their tiny bodies can take it, right?

At least this is what I think

But as I realize the truth

my heart begins to sink

They are fine today

And possibly tomorrow

But what about the next day?

Or their future life of sorrow

You see, today they're fine

But they'll still live exactly as they please

Because you've shown them what is "normal"

But each choice leads to disease

It may start off simple

or even go un-noticed

But the more that I connect the dots

It's the truth that keeps me focused

God made my body perfect

in it's ability to heal

And now I know the food I eat

Affects the way I feel

Toxic body, toxic hair

And even toxic thoughts

We have the power to change all these

By the knowledge we are taught

Tiny choices day by day

Can change our childrens lives

Or even help our parents

Or our husbands, or our wives!

We get sicker and sicker

Each moment of every day

Or we can choose the alternative

We know a better way!

Don't start on Monday

Or tomorrow or next year

Your power is in the moment

Right now, right here.

The love we have for our children is powerfully moving. We would do anything and everything for them. Knowlege is power. Know what it is that's in your food, water, and products in our day to day life. Just because it's "normal" doesn't mean its right and it most definitely doesn't mean we have to abide by it! There is power in our choices and our lives and the lives of our children depend on those choices. We can teach them better. We can guide them better. We can do better in our lives for them! Fast food, processed food, and other convenience items may save us time now, but I can assure you we pay for it later. Health is wealth, y'all.
