Moderation

Anything… Everything…

All good things in moderation.

Songs we sing,

Food we bring

In austere consideration.

 

Worrying… Flurrying…

Hurrying to reach the end while

Mothering and smothering 

In ways no one can comprehend.

 

Gluttony says to me,

“Have your fill. Enjoy temptation.”

But the relish of ambrosia

Wields an untoward consequence.

 

Staving cravings, not so easy,

Tested by such sweet sensations.

Desperate for overkill to

Acquiesce to common sense.

 

Less is more

For what’s in store, and

Greed is need when unrestrained.

And why must we

Feint debauchee

When beckoned to abstain.
