Sugar lurks in wait
So sweet and seemingly innocent
Yet deadly are its effects
While natural sugars are a treat
Processed sugar defies mankind
It goes down so smooth
Yet that is where the hazard leaks
It feeds that which harms us
Our cells proliferating
Vast multiples at a time
Yet were that love
We would all be healed
But sugar is not a substitute for love
Don't let it fool you
It lurks in wait
Deep within our foods
Additive to most
But nature knows its adversary
It keeps sugar at bay
In only healthy ways
Nature's goodness heals
That which sugar deteriorates.
